1. Seattle - What fun is it to follow the crowd? Pecota and Chone both have the Mariners less than 10 games out of first place (behind Oakland and Anaheim, respectively). We haven’t seen one prognosticator pick the Mariners, so why not? Last year Seattle was a sexy pick, but the M’s are largely considered an afterthought this season. Adrian Beltre probably has the most pop in that lineup. Sad, indeed. But what if Hernandez and Bedard are healthy? What if Morrow’s the stud everyone thinks he’ll be? [Aside: For numbers-lovers.] Because picking a sleeper is a must: 84 wins and the division title.
