Comments: Poor Padres getting no Sox or Yankees, but they got Ichiro, Dodgers are the big winners here with the Yankees and minimal April exposure against the Lakers

Games vs 08 AL Playoff Teams:

15 Dodgers
9 D'Backs, Phillies, Mets
6 Rockies, Braves
3 Nationals, Cubs, Astros, Brewers, Pirates, Cardinals, Giants
0 Marlins, Padres, Reds

Comments: The Dodgers will win at the box office, but they might miss the playoffs because of it, while SF/COL head to the playoffs. Same goes for the Marlins winning the East while the Phillies stay home to count their regular season money.
