Dodgers remain the class of this division, the Giants are emerging in new and interesting ways and the Rockies are usually good for some drama. The D-backs and Padres still have some work to do to run with the class of the West.<\/p>\n National League – Odds TO WIN 2010 MLB NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST<\/strong><\/p>\n ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS\t +245 Los Angeles<\/strong> Dodgers Prediction: 1st<\/sup> NL West<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>The Chavez Ravine faithful enjoyed a great on-field product in 2009; they\u2019ll get much of the same this season. Last year\u2019s division champs have an outstanding nucleus of players reaching their prime: 1B James Loney, RF Andre Ethier and CF Matt Kemp all are run-producing machines. Fellow outfielder Manny Ramirez is no spring chicken, but he still is a hitting savant that can change a game. The rotation is great at the top with lefty Clayton Kershaw and Chad Billingsley while the bullpen is also worthy of praise \u2013 George Sherrill and monster Jonathan Broxton would be coveted by anyone. The Dodgers are a legitimate threat for the Phils in \u201910.<\/p>\n San Francisco<\/strong> Giants Prediction: 2nd<\/sup> NL West<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>The G-Men were crappy for a while in the post-Bonds era, but this is a team that is improving quickly. Everyone knew that they could pitch in San Fran, the question was with the bats. There finally has been some bright spots in that aspect of the game with 3B Pablo Sandoval, 1B Aubrey Huff and two-bagger Freddy Sanchez. To make things more well-rounded, Sergio Romo and Brian Wilson are effective in the \u2019pen. The\u00a0Rockiesseem to make magic and the D-backs have flecks of talent, but the Giants are the toughest competition for the Dodgers this year.<\/p>\n Colorado<\/strong> <\/strong>Rockies<\/strong> Prediction: 3rd<\/sup> NL West<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>A lot of the magic from recent\u00a0Colorado\u00a0squads is changed \u2013 Matt Holliday is in\u00a0Colorado, Todd Helton is old, Garrett Atkins sucks. However, they\u2019ve seemed able to re-create somewhat with new personnel inDenver. Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez are intriguing in the outfield. Fowler has tremendous potential and Gonzalez looked excellent in last year\u2019s postseason. SS Troy Tulowitzki and RF Brad Hawpe will provide their share of fireworks. Yet the pitching rotation can\u2019t run with\u00a0L.A.\u00a0or San Fran and the bullpen has some question marks. The\u00a0Rockies\u00a0aren\u2019t a bad team; they\u2019ll just have to out-duel two very good teams to make headway in the division. Matching last year\u2019s wild-card spot would be very nice. Arizona<\/strong> Diamondbacks Prediction: 4th<\/sup> NL West<\/strong><\/p>\n Arizona\u2019s player development has been too hit or miss: 3B Mark Reynolds and OF Justin Upton are studs, but utilityman Conor Jackson and SS Stephen Drew are closer to duds. The pitching duo of Brandon Webb and Dan Haren is great, provided that Webb can bounce back from a shoulder injury that ruled him out of last season. There are some pieces in the desert, but I don\u2019t see the D-backs quite as impressive as the top divisional dogs. As a crucial aside, reliever Clay Zavada has an otherworldly moustache. Eat your heart out, Randy Johnson\u2026<\/p>\n San Diego<\/strong> Padres Prediction: 5th<\/sup> NL West<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>The Friars have a true gem in 1B Adrian Gonzalez. The local fans have grown to love the local product; it\u2019s just the rest of the team that has them queasy. The batting order is a collection of middling vets (David Eckstein, Scott Hairston) with unproven entities. Top-line starter Chris Young really needs to have a healthy, productive year. The Pads aren\u2019t the worst team in the league, but SoCal dudes and dudettes would still be better served watching the Chargers.<\/p>\n <\/strong> James Hayes weighs in with his 2010 NL West Preview including odds and predictions. Though the L.A. Dodgers remain the class of this division, the Giants and Rockies are on the rise.
