The additions of Mike Moustakas and Nick Castellanos alone make them the offense to beat in the NL Central. -- Atlanta approached 100 wins last year and arguably improved this offseason, adding solid vets (People seem to overlook the Indians winning 93 games a year ago, despite myriad issues with the lineup (It's an unusual year, so why not an unusual pick? The upside: September should be crazy. Here are my six teams that get a ticket to the expanded dance:The Padres should be the happiest about expanded playoffs, but the Angels are probably close behind.
The Mets and Reds could also push their way into one of the final NL two spots, but their divisions have three other teams that are better right now, especially with Noah Syndergaard out of the year and Marcus Stroman on the injured list for New York.The playoffs are growing, and so are some clubs' championship aspirations.© 2020 ABG-SI LLC.

NL West: 1587 +1. The argument that such mediocre teams being playoff-capable waters down the postseason doesn’t play this year–not in a pandemic-shortened 60-game season with few common opponents on the schedule. Luck is a greater factor in a 60-game season, but the Yankees' roster advantages will significantly mitigate the chances for derailment by misfortune. But they both have the top-end talent to get hot for 60 games. Meaningful games galore. The Astros are definitely going to miss It's hard to make a numbers-based case that Oakland should be favored over the Astros in the AL West, but the A's have one of the best five or six rosters in baseball.

And it's really talented, high-ceiling, star-caliber depth too, with prospect capital to supplement via August trades or September roster additions. Now, sure sure, Tampa Bay's roster has plenty of experience playing in front of sparse crowds, but it also means some of its roster's bright spots go undercovered.Baseball's postseason is always chaotic -- the midseason punch line-to-wild card-to-champions Nationals being proof of that last year -- and the Rays seem positioned to navigate all of it.

From among our columnists, writers, researchers and editors, we polled 32 of ESPN's leading baseball experts to see what they expect, asking them about who's going to win their respective divisions as well as who's going to win their leagues and ultimately the World Series.To see who our experts think will walk away with the MVP and other hardware at the end of the 2020 season, The Rays might be the league's most creative team, which makes them the team most likely to find hidden opportunities in these anomalous circumstances. I'd pick the Yankees' wealth and talent to win out in 162 games, but in 60 games, the gap is negligible, and the division could go to the team that first figures out how to make this once-in-a-lifetime schedule work for it.
