By Matt Veasey
The TBOH staff was polled for their predictions on the expected order of finish in each of the six MLB divisions, the outcome of the MLB playoffs, and the winners of some of the major MLB awards for the coming 2015 season.
Below are the results for the expected order of finish in the American League West. More kool aid being consumed by our staffers, this time of the Pacific Northwest variety as we’re installing the Seattle Mariners as they division favorites.

Local hero Mike Trout and the defending division titlist Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim, if you still insist on tossing that in) are the clear 2nd choice. The Oakland Athletics, who always seem to find a way to over-achieve, are slotted for a middle-of-the-road campaign.
One thing is clear about the bottom of this division: a team from Texas will occupy the basement. But will it be the up-n-coming Houston Astros, or the suddenly perpetually injured Texas Rangers who fall to the western cellar?
