Possible playoff picture

Happy New Year to all. Sorry for the lack of posting, I had health issues, but everything is fine now.

The majority of the teams have past the mid season point, so time to look in the crystal ball and see which teams will be playing in the playoffs this spring. This is the first installment of projections. I will do another after the All-star game, and an another a few weeks after the tradedeadline, so be sure to stay tune.
