Believe it or not, the other teams in baseball do intend to play regular-season games this year. I know — who knew? Weather permitting, by bedtime Monday, there will be no 0-0 teams left in the National League West.
The contemplative Andre Ethier and the Dodgers are the divisional favorite, but who’s the pick for top challenger? San Francisco is the consensus selection of the six national publications below.

I wish we stop declaring the Dodgers as the favorite it’s just adding wood to the pressure fire. It’s time we remember that it’s not going to be so easy to get back to the postseason.

I think Fangraphs has it right. D’Bags are a lot worse this year, and they were only a 500 team last year anyway.
