2016 National League MLB Baseball Predictions: NL West, NL East, NL Central

2016 National League MLB Predictions: Cubs and Mets Dominate For me, the National League is just much more interesting to me than the American League (with the possible exception of the AL East). The NL East saw the Washington Nationals slip into dysfunction and the New York Mets unleash a full rotation of dominant young pitching. The NL Central is likely the most competitive division from top to bottom, and the Chicago Cubs look like they are relevant once again. The NL West is loaded with great pitchers in big pitchers’ parks. It’s going to be a fun year.

2015-16 MLB Preseason Predictions: AL West Picks – Astros Rangers

2015-16 MLB Predictions: AL West Picks – Astros, Rangers, Angels I really am starting to like the Houston Astros, and nothing makes me happier than watching Jesus Montero tank and Robinson Cano complain about how great it was to be the second baseman for the New York Yankees. Watching the Seattle Mariners crumble is a great joy. So far, I’ve liked how the AL West has shaken out in recent years. Heck, even with the Texas Rangers finally driving out their cracked our manager that cost them a World Series win, all the teams in this division seem to be doing  ... 

2015-16 MLB Preseason Picks: AL Central Predictions – Royals, Tigers

2015-16 MLB Predictions: AL Central Picks – Royals, Tigers, Twins It’s easy to ignore the chaos that consumed the AL Central last year and look only at the Kansas City Royals and their success. The Royals were projected by many, myself included, to take a step back last year. They did not. More surprisingly, the Minnesota Twins finished above .500, the Detroit Tigers tanked, and the full mediocrity of this division was absolutely astonishing. This year, who will emerge?

1. Kansas City Royals (90-72): It’s hard to put your finger on the Kansas City Royals. They have serviceable, young pitching  ... 

2015-16 MLB Predictions: AL East – Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox

2015-16 MLB Predictions: AL East Picks, Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox March 1st means it’s time for another round of preseason baseball predictions.  I always like to start with my favorite division, the AL East, and my favorite team, the New York Yankees.  Sure, maybe I’m something of a homer, but it has never really let me down in the past.  I like the New York Yankees to survive the AL East and win the division, while the rest of the teams cannibalize themselves yet again.

So last year was something of a disaster for the Boston Red Sox and  ... 

2015 MLB World Series Predictions: New York Mets vs Kansas City Royals

2015 World Series Prediction: New York Mets vs Kansas City Royals The New York Mets rotation is one of the best I can ever remember seeing. The Mets have so much young pitching that they were ready to run a guy like Matt Harvey out of town over caution surrounding his surgically-repaired arm. Why? Because they honestly don’t really need him. The Mets have four legitimate aces with Harvey, Jacob DeGrom and the emergence of Syndergaard and Matz.

At the same time, the New York Mets lineup does not impress me. They’ve been hitting – especially Daniel Murphy – but  ...

2015 MLB Playoffs Predictions: Toronto Blue Jays – LA Dodgers World Series?

2015 MLB Playoffs Predictions: Toronto Blue Jays, LA Dodgers World Series? I believe in pitching your way through the postseason. Let’s be honest, when is the last time a World Series winner slugged their way to a ring? That’s what the Toronto Blue Jays are trying to do, but can they hit when bats go cold in wintry weather? Probably not, to be honest, but I don’t think it will matter. The Jays play in a dome, the Dodgers play in warm weather, and if the LA Dodgers take out the St. Louis Cardinals I think the Jays will  ...

MLB Picks: Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers

MLB Picks: Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers Progression

Well, we had a perfect night last night if not for the Pittsburgh Pirates choosing to completely fail to show up against a lowly Milwaukee Brewers team. I’m going to ride this progression out, despite that poor performance from a proven ace, and pick the Pittsburgh Pirates to come through before the series ends.

I recognize that the Milwaukee Brewers are not some pushover team right now. The lineup is healthy, possibly for the first time this year, and they’ve been getting serviceable pitching efforts at home. This can be a dangerous  ...
