But being the ZiPS Dictator doesn’t make one the MLB Dictator, and there’s a very good chance that any Arizona/Florida league will have makeshift divisions. For each league, I split the teams into three divisions, assembled by their roster strengths, as projected by ZiPS. Neither the Rockies nor the Giants were going to contend in a normal 2020 season, and since they're looking up at three teams that would do so under regular circumstances, it's unlikely their fates would change. Here at theScore, we're intrigued by this proposal - and really anything that could bring baseball back - so we decided to rank each of the proposed new divisions by difficulty. by Handedness. The rest of the southeastern teams fit neatly here as they did in the other Grapefruit League South. They would replace the NL and AL for the season, with three divisions each and likely expanded playoffs. Biggest winner: DodgersBiggest loser: Reds. The Red Sox don't get much of a break here either despite getting away from the rival Yankees. This is easily the worst division of them all, as no team is projected to finish above .500. and play-by-play data provided by Baseball Info Solutions. The Yankees still project to handily win this division, but as the best projected team in baseball, they look quite solid in most matchups. Maybe in a place like Missouri where you have Columbia, Kansas City and St. Louis or Ohio where you have Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati among others, but nothing compares to these sites (I won't even mention New York for obvious reasons). The Cardinals would be in a position to get some 2019 postseason revenge of their own against the Nationals, and the Mets, even having lost Noah Syndergaard, are still legitimate second-tier contenders. Don't sleep on the D-Backs, who own an MVP candidate in Ketel Marte and are plucky enough to pose a real threat. Could the Mariners finally end their MLB-worst 18-year postseason drought here? For the number of games, I’m going with the proposed 108, consisting of 12 games against each team’s division rivals and six games against each of the non-division teams. Now let’s look to Arizona, starting with the Northeast Division: This is one of the more familiar looking divisions, with three-fifths of the NL West left intact. OK, maybe a reach. As for the next division…. Here's my solution. Before I get into how to construct "divisions", here are some cons with Arizona/Florida only games. You love your sports, you love your teams, and you’re always looking for more news about them. Instead, there would be six new divisions based on the geographical proximity of teams' spring training homes in Florida and Arizona. And while Baltimore is an actual AL East team, I went with the Tigers here to match up with the Blue Jays, a classic old-school AL … News. For these divisions, I tried to pair as many of the traditional rivals together as possible, while also deferring to certain geographic rivalries. Certain content reproduced under license.

The Grapefruit League would be pretty easy, since the entirety of two divisions are here, and then you just throw in the rest in the final division.

108 games instead of 162 does help with this, however. The Brewers, who've reached the playoffs in each of the last two years, should be the favorites, but the Padres would also have a realistic shot at first place. By the way, the "Florida Division" is very intriguing with Minnesota, Houston and St. Louis all in one division. And finally, to wrap up Arizona play, we have the West: Unfortunately, this division can best be classified as…The Others.
