It starts tonight.

The New York Mets take on the World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals in a rematch of last year's NLCS. It's a matchup of former Cy Young Award winners, with 290 game winner Tom Glavine taking on the Cards Chris Carpenter.

Here are my predictions for the division and playoff winners, plus the major award winners:

AL East champions: Boston Red Sox
AL Central champions: Detroit Tigers
AL West champions: LA Angels
AL wild card: Chicago White Sox

Sorry, Yankees. The curse of A-Rod continues.

NL East champions: Atlanta Braves
NL Central champions: Milwaukee Brewers (no, really, you shouldn't laugh)
NL West champions: LA Dodgers
NL wild card: New York Mets

AL champion: Boston Red Sox
NL champion: LA Dodgers

World Series champion: Boston Red Sox (like you weren't expecting that one. Hey, pitching wins championships and the Sox have pretty impressive pitching if they stay healthy)

AL MVP: David Ortiz
AL Cy Young: Jeremy Bonderman

NL MVP: Andruw Jones
NL Cy Young: Ben Sheets

Come back in November and see how I did!
