What teams are off to a better than expected start?

The Cincinnati Reds are currently 8-6 and sitting on top of the NL Central. They were picked finish dead last in this division by Sports Illustrated. While it's early and 8-6 isn't *that* impressive, it's still a pretty good way to start the season.

The Seattle Mariners are another team that was selected by SI to finish last in their division (the AL West) and yet are currently leading. They have a 5-4 record and 17 scoreless innings pitched by their phenomenal ace Felix Rodriguez. Rodriguez takes the mound again tonight.

The season is still extremely young and there's still a very good shot both of these teams will indeed end up last place in their respective divisions of course but hey *golf clap* to a nice start! I sure wish my San Francisco Giants were among the teams doing better than expected, but no, they seem to suck just as everyone thought they would!
