Above .500 Team Most Likely to Collapse?

[RTL]

Let's hear your predictions. Select one team from the AL and one team from the NL. Here's the list:

AL

Tampa Bay (33-22)
Chicago White Sox (30-24)
Toronto (31-26)
Oakland (29-26)
Minnesota (28-26)

NL

St. Louis (33-23)
Florida (30-23)
Houston (30-26)

My predictions:

Florida Marlins - Strength of division will eventually be there downfall.

Minnesota Twins - Don't trust their starting rotation. I love Mauer and Morneau, but there's just not enough pop in their lineup.

I'd keep an eye on these teams with monster home records. They are more likely to be thought of by the linesmakers and I would think things would even out for at least a few. I'm thinking especially about the Cubs. They haven't been that dominant at home from my recollection till now. Balt might be another one. Boston and Atl probably have more of a legit home field advantage.

Baltimore will definitely come back to earth. The AL East is tough, and the Orioles' offense is pathetic (217 runs scored). Good call IO!
