[navamind]

Still got some offseason to go, but right now I'd go with:

AL East:
Yankees
Red Sox (WC1)
Blue Jays
Rays
Orioles

AL Central:
Indians
Twins
White Sox
Tigers
Royals

pretty brutal after the Twins, and even they're not looking so great now.

AL West:
Astros
Angels (WC2)
Mariners
Athletics (I think they finish around/just below .500 and have one of the best offenses in the AL. Pitching's another story, but there is some upside in that rotation)
Rangers

NL East:
Nats
Mets
Phillies
Braves
Marlins

NL Central:
Cubs
Cardinals (WC1)
Brewers
Reds
Pirates

NL West:
Dodgers
Diamondbacks (WC2)
Giants
Rockies
Padres

I could see there being four .500+ teams in the NL West though I think the Dodgers will be the only ones with 90+ (and they run away with the division).

AL MVP - Mike Trout
Non-Trout AL MVP - Mookie Betts
AL CYA - Corey Kluber
AL RoY - Brent Honeywell

NL MVP - Corey Seager
NL CYA - Noah Syndergaard
NL RoY - Ronald Acuna

AL WC:
Red Sox over Angels

NL WC:

ALDS:

I'd love for you to be right about the Braves making the WC game.

 

[rmilia1]

I'd love for you to be right about the Braves making the WC game.

That division is so bad that if the Braves young guys come to play I think they've got a good shot. Playing 1/3 of your games vs the Mets, Phils and Marlins should be 32ish wins . That's a good head start. Also why I think the Nats end up with the best record

 

[msgkings322]

You know how when it's prediction time you try to figure out which division winner will be knocked off their perch? Yeah this year ain't that kind of year. Is there any realistic way the Dodgers/Cubs/Nats/Yankees/Indians/Astros don't win their divisions? That's weird right?

This may sound crazy but I think the White Sox can give the Indians a run

They are a little young, but if the Indians (White Sox) show any weakness these kids could do some damage.

I think Boston can give the Yankees a run. In the O/U win totals that just came out at the end of last week, those 2 are very close.

Yanks O/U is at 93.5 while Boston is at 91.5

 

[Voltaire26]

Huh?

My Bad ... it's supposed to be Indians over Yankees ... I think this is the season for the Indians.

Interesting

I think the Tribe is trending the wrong way

Losing Bruce and Santana, replacing them with only Alonso, I'm not loving that offense

I hate to say it, buts it's an easy division to win ... I don't believe in the Twins yet, the White Sox have done an excellent job at collecting young talent, Kansas City is starting a rebuild and my Tigers are in full rebuild mode. The season shouldn't be too taxing on them, so they should be primed for the playoff run.

I agree, between them and the Nats, those are 2 teams I can pretty much lock up as division champs, so from that perspective, Id have to agree, their path to the postseason seems easier than most everyone

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

With rumors that the Nats are in on Arrietta, maybe this is the season they get over the hump in the NL

No, please let them give a declining Arrieta a big contract.

Strasburg and Scherzer will both be making over 30 million a piece. I'd love for them to fuck around and not be able to afford to sign Harper.

Nats have never won a playoff series. This ain't gonna be the year. They collectively have a touch of the Andy Dalton gene.
