The so-called weakest division in the weaker conference

It seems like every year I read articles at the beginning of the season talking about how the NL West is the weakest division in a weak conference, and yet, if the season ended today, the Rockies would be the NL wild card. And in line behind them? The Giants (granted, with the Marlins half a game behind them). And I could see any of the top three NL West teams getting creamed by the Yankees in the World Series.

In the AL, Texas just passed Boston for the Wild Card. Would the Yankees would rather steamroll the Tigers or Rangers in the first round? And would they prefer the Angels to have to face the Red Sox or Tigers? These are the questions the hindbrain ponders on Monday mornings.
