The two NY teams are set for a tight battle at the very pointy end, with BNN tipping the Yanks will just get past their cross city rivals in the Penthouse, while they see Atlanta and Detroit under threat of relegation. Gerald McNab needs just 49 ribbies to become the first to reach the 1000 mark, while 19 wins will get Leniel Hooker to 200. Koby Clemens got the call-up to the Dodgers big club last season and has kept his spot, meaning him and Rocket are playing together again. Not sure why, given he has been more than serviceable in both '89 and '90 with a combined 2.5 bWAR, but Kody is starting the year at Texas' AAA Round Rock club.
Meanwhile, in our old 'hood, the Snakes are tipped to be amongst it at the end, although it is the Reds who are seen as the prime candidate for promotion back to the Skylobby for the first time since being relegated in 1986. KC's James Lamay needs 10 wins to become the Basement's all-time leader, a spot currently held by Walter Seaman with 79. His Royals are the pick for Gimp Room duties this time around.
