I think the Dodgers are pretty dangerous even though they have more questions in their starting rotation than the other division leaders. Yes, St. Louis has to be the team to beat, and the way to (try to) beat them is to take Pujols out of the game the way teams tried to do against Bonds. Thus if Holliday has a "good" postseason, he can end up having a "dreat" postseason.

In the AL the Yankees have to be slight favorites as they will likely start with the Tigers, or possibly the Twins. The AL Central was very weak, probably the worst division in baseball. The Angels do well against the Yankees, and the Red Sox have a deeper and more solid rotation than the Yankees, so the AL championship should be interesting.
