We polled 58 scouts including at least one from all 30 Major League Baseball clubs to get a pre-season feel for where they think each team will finish. Each scout put down the record they thought every team would finish with; we averaged them out and came up with the data. Here's what they came up with for the National League teams.

* This is not a prediction as to where each team will finish, it's a mathematical computation of the results of the poll.

Comments:

• It looks like they are anticipating both the Mets and Nationals to improve significantly
• The Cardinals once again seem to be the class of the Central
• The Giants, Dodgers and Rockies are once again expected to beat the crap out of each other in a manage a trios race for the playoffs with all three expected to get spots.
• Things don't look good for the Pirates and Padres

If you haven't voted in our poll on the site yet please do so. We are trying to get a feel for how our readers are looking at the game of MLB so we can write about things they want to hear. The poll question is, "Do you think that MLB should have a salary cap or something similar?"
