MLB Season Predicitions?

[darthmacho]

I'm surprised no one has posted on this yet with the season starting next week, so I'll do it.

Let's make those ridiculous predictions about who is going to win the divisions, and who is going to the playoffs, as if we could predict the future!

My predictions:

AL

East
1. Red Sox (funny how I'm always wrong on that one.)
2. Yankees (AL wild card)
3. Blue Jays
4. Orioles
5. Rays (Always the Rays)

Central
1. Indians (could it be?)
2. Tigers
3. Twins
4. White Sox
5. Royals

West
1. Angels
2. Mariners
3. A's
4. Rangers


NL

East
1. Mets
2. Marlins
3. Phillies
4. Braves
5. Nats, Expos, whatever

Central
1. Reds
2. Cardinals (wild card)
3. Cubs
4. Astros
5. Brewers
6. Pirates (always the Pirates)

West
1. Dodgers (really, this time)
2. Padres
3. Giants
4. D-Backs
5. Rockies

Playoffs
Red Sox beat Angels
Yankees beat Indians
Cardinals beat Mets
Dodgers beat Reds

Red Sox beat Yankees
Dodgers beat Cardinals

World Series
Red Sox beat Dodgers!

The endless two year curse is finally over!

I am a Northeastern Ohio guy trapped in Indy and like your AL Central Division pick for obvious reasons. SI also liked the Indians and had them losing to the Yankees in the Division Series just as you do. They also talked about how the Indians stats don't really add up for being as good as they are and not making the post-season. For a long time it wasn't the case, but the Tribe is in a really tough division the past few years.

Being from the KC area, I'd just like to say this while I can.....

The Royals remain undefeated for the 2007 baseball season.


Thanks for indulging me.

I have to Say GO CARDS!

[RedSoxFan]

Well, it shouldn't be a surprise given my screen name: Red Sox will win the world series. Looking forward to a wonderful season!!

[Jacova]

Sorry guys, but it will be a Subway Series, with the Mets topping the Yankees in game 7...

(Hey, I'm a New Yorker...)

NL

East.........Mets
Central......Cubs
West........Dodgers
Wild Card...Phillies


I'm not too familiar with the AL, but I'll take a shot.

East.........Redsox
Central......Indians
West........Angels
Wild Card...Twins

[PirateLover]

Phillies= World Series Champions!!!!

Really though, I think we'll get the wild card this year and could make a run at it...

[DizneyFreak2002]

I am taking a stab at this:

AL East: BlueJays (and I am a Yankee fan)
AL Central: Tigers
AL West: Rangers

NL East: Phillies
NL Central: Cubbies
NL West: Dodgers

AL Wild Card: Twins
NL Wild Card: Brewers

Tigers vs Dodgers in World Series... Tigers in 7.....

[Damon18]

Well for what it's worth here's mine....

AL East : Red Sox
AL Central : Tigers
AL West : A's
Wild Card : Blue Jays

NL East: Mets
NL Central: Cardinals
NL West: Dodgers
Wild Card :Phillies

World Series : Red Sox vs. Mets
Champ: Sox in 6

[Marker]

If you would indulge me again, I'd like to point out, while I can, that given their current record for the 2007 regular season, and their CURRENT position in the standings..... The Royals still have a chance.


Know what the best "Royals" news has been the last few.... ok several seasons here in KC....... "It's Almost Football Season".

[darthmacho]

I am taking a stab at this:

AL East: BlueJays (and I am a Yankee fan)
AL Central: Tigers
AL West: Rangers

NL East: Phillies
NL Central: Cubbies
NL West: Dodgers

AL Wild Card: Twins
NL Wild Card: Brewers

Tigers vs Dodgers in World Series... Tigers in 7.....

I like your predictions because they don't fall into the trap of following last years finish. My only question is what makes the Blue Jays able to pull ahead of the Yanks and Sox? One maybe, but both? I admit, that would be interesting.

I say its going the other way..Subway Series, Yanks over Mets.

New Yorker here too.

I feel like the pitching staffs on the Yankees and Red Sox are vulnerable... The Sox pullpen is for sure vunerable, other than Papelbon.. But they have to get to him first.. Plus, how is his shoulder going to hold up?? Dice-K is going to get lit up like a Christmas tree, just like Burkett did last year.. But, if Dice-K is an ace, like they claim he is, then the Sox starting rotation could be OK.. Still, not great... A lot of question marks on all three staffs really.... Should be interesting... If the Blue Jays don't pull ahead, then the Yankees finish in 1st, Jay in 2nd, Sox in 3rd... In a very close race....

[goofhook]

I'm going to have to go with Red Sox also, Dice-k is going to dominate.

[Jasper]

I am really torn, I have been a lifelong Cincinnati fan but Scot Rolen who is from where I live plays for St. Louis. (Plus my wife was Scott's nursery school teacher.) So I guess if we are making really crazy predictions than Cincinnati and St. Louis will go undeafeted except for when they play one another and those games will all end in ties. Then because both teams are so good MLB will just skip the playoffs and have those two teams go straight to the World Series against one another!!!

Ok, I am not that good at this so I won't make any predictions other than to say that both my teams ought to be pretty good this year. Beyond that I don't have a clue!

[indytraveler]

AL winners
Red Sox
Tigers
Angels

World Series
Cubs over White Sox

Not saying he won't be good, but, remember this... They said the same thing about Hideki Irabu.. And we all know how that turned out... So, let the guy actually pitch here in the U.S. and pitch in the beast that is the AL EAST, then let's call him an ace and Hall of Famer... Because, just like Beckett, Dice-K will get lit up like a Christmas Tree....

I'm not saying he is going to be a hall of famer, but I'm pretty sure with the way he was this pre-season he'll be an ace in the future.
