It was impossible to ignore how much has changed for both clubs since last September, when Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis were still members of the Fish, and Johan Santana was pitching for the Minnesota Twins. Five months later, Florida's dynamic duo is gone, and the Marlins' $17 million payroll falls $2 million shy of the $19 million the Mets will pay Santana to be their ace this season.

More MLB preview. Here are Bodog's AL MVP favorites:5:1 seems pretty optimistic for a guy that hit "only" .308 with 33 homers last year, in his best triple crown year since '05, doesn't it?

Prior to opening day...
