California Teams from Best to Worst?
Rank the five California teams (Padres, Giants, Dodgers, Athletics, Angels) from 1 to 5 as to who will have the best Won/Lost record at year end. Reflect what you believe the Won/Lost numbers will be and the total must be 162 for each team. If you can tell me why you believe you will be accurate at year end I will be able to award a Best Answer. If all you give me are numbers it won't impress me.

1 - Giants 96-66
Their pitching hasn't even caught fire yet they sit on top of the NL West. They're coming into the season with no real needs so I don't expect to see them making any big mid season trades... they should be able to dominate their divisional games and rack up wins.
2 - Athletics 89-73
Their pitching will turn it around as the season goes on and I don't think their offense is a fluke, they made a good run last year and they have a good system going... they have a good blend of speed and power, Chris Young, John Jaso, Jed Lowrie were all great pick ups...
3 - Angels 83-79
They started out slow last year, they're starting out slow this year... when it's all said and done I think they'll squeak out a winning season, but they made a huge mistake by not signing Greinke, they chose to go with an overloaded line up and signed a streaky hitter like Hamilton when they should have focused on pitching all the way.
4 - Dodgers 81-81
The runs will come, Hanley will get back, Kemp will get it going, they gotta keep Gordon in there... but I think their bullpen will eventually show to be a front and so far their pitching outside of Kershaw is overall not that good.
5 - Padres 68-94
I just think all the current NL West rosters are better and San Diego won't be able to compete... but they do have talent brewing and I don't think their future looks too terrible, but this is not their year. Hope I'm wrong though...

Giants: 90-72
A's: 87-75
Dodgers: 81-81 (and I'm being generous)
Padres: 70-92
Angels: 75-87 (but they still suck worse than the Pads given the name players Arte Morono has bought)

1.A's 92-70 (Good Offense, Decent Pitching, Clutch)
2.Giants 87-75 (Good Pitching that has only been decent this year, Good defense, Average offense)
3.Dodgers 80-82 (Huge issues with injuries and luck, offense that can't score any runs, pitching not perfect enough to overcome offensive woes)
4.Angels 76-86 (Issues with the team chemistry, awful pitching, buying overpriced superstars that can't produce)
5. Padres 15-147 (Pretty obvious, Starting rotation that is still weak even in Petco park, lackluster offense) they will win more like 60 but, still bottom of the barrel team.
