- American League
- AL North: Minnesota North Stars finally overtake Philly for the top of the division after losing last year by a single game. Both teams have a lot of ground to make up before becoming a favorite in the AL but the division battle should be fun to watch.
- AL East: Atlanta Expos, the division is there's to lose and likely the favorite for the next couple of seasons.
- AL South: Houston Space Cowboys, Huntington is making a push but they just aren't ready to take over as top of the American League just yet. The medical system in Houston once again proves useful to the team down the stretch run.
- AL West: Salt Lake City Punk! take the division from Helena after quite a few trades and improvements this off-season. We at the Gazette are drinking the punch, though this is the division we are least confident about.
- Wildcard: Huntington Tropics & Philadelphia Harpers claim the two wildcard slots, topping New York, Boston, and Colorado Springs as the other three who are in it until the end. Expect another close race to the finish.
- National League
- NL North: Hartford Rising Stars edges out Chicago for the battle of the best team in the NL. Unfortunately the loser, who might very well have the second best record in the, doesn't end up with a first round bye.
- NL East: Pittsburgh Yinzers' pitching staff holds off both old age, Buffalo Bisons and the rebuilt Columbus Corgis for their second straight division title.
- NL South: New Orleans Smell repeats for its 5th straight division title but fails to secure the top seed; struggling to manage their pitching staff.
- NL West: Oklahoma City Barons edges out Vancouver and Tokyo. If Vancouver can pick up a front of the rotation, another solid bullpen piece, and a better 3B then they might be favored to win the division. But until then, they will have to settle for watching from home...again.
- Wildcard: Chicago Gungslingers & Buffalo Bisons. The Bisons continue to find a way to get the job done, edging out the Vancouver Canucks for the final spot.
- Playoffs
