I’m saying the Reds wind up taking a wild card spot. 3 games under .500, but just a few games back of the wc, and they have the third best run differential in the NL at +47

That offense should only get better too, a lot of players seem to be underperforming their projections (especially Voto, who seems to be getting his act together (.950 OPS over last 28 days)). Crazy to think the Reds had one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball only a year ago. Probably going to regress, but it still looks like ne of the best staffs in the NL. Castillo's a stud and Mahle is showing signs of progress.

I dont think its too bold to think they'll outlast the Brewers and Cardinals. You'd start getting bold if you put the Cubs into the mix and the Red taking the division.

I expected big things from them coming into the season. They are 4 GB in the wild card race so still a bit of a climb for them. We'll have to see what happens.

Well, they are in the mix. Right now, there are 10 NL teams with better records but they aren't far back

Yankees will win 115 games

Why am I not surprised a Yankees fan's bold prediction is about the Yankees?

the only players they know of are either impending free agents or stars' names being tossed around by dumb NYC sports radio guys

Granted this applies to pink hat Sox fans as well.

The Indians win the AL Central as the Twins miss the playoffs entirely.

Cody Allen ends up being our biggest bullpen acquisition and flops and our starters regress towards their normal numbers mean we start losing a lot more games as the Indians get healthy and run us down for the division and Boston and Tampa beat us out for the Wild Card spots.

The Reds are a good bold prediction.

I'll say the Red Sox have a big second half and push the Yankees a bit.

The Twins stumble and lose the division to Cleveland.

The Dodgers and Astros battle each other in an entertaining 7-game World Series. Astros win game 7 as Springer hits a walk off and takes home the series MVP.

Yelich becomes the fifth member of the 40-40 club and eeks out Bellinger for back-to-back MVPs.
