2018 MLB Predictions

AL EAST: Boston Red Sox

This is going to be a neck-and-neck battle all year with the New York Yankees but I like the Red Sox to come out on top because of their starting pitching and Craig Kimbrel as the closer.

AL CENTRAL: Cleveland Indians

Call me crazy but I think it's the Indians year.  All the pieces come together and they finally end the World Series drought.

AL WEST: Houston Astros

The defending Champs are absolutely loaded and should win the division rather easily.  But a World Series hangover is inevitable.

AL WILDCARDS: Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees

It wouldn't surprise to see either one of these teams represent the American League in the World Series as Wild Card winners.

AL MVP: Mike Trout

If he stays healthy Trout is hands down the best player in the game and he still hasn't reached his peak.

AL CY YOUNG: Cory Kluber

AL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Francisco Mejia

AL MANAGER OF THE YEAR: Terry Francona

NL EAST: Washington Nationals

The Nats have won back-to-back division titles by an average of 14 games.  I don't see that changing this year in Bryce Harper's walk year.

NL CENTRAL: St. Louis Cardinals

I know this sounds crazy not to pick the Cubs but I got a gut feeling the Cards reclaim the division crown because they are more hungry than the Cubbies.

NL WEST: Los Angeles Dodgers

Dodgers win the division despite a valiant effort from the Rockies.

NL WILDCARDS: Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies

It wouldn't surprise me if either one of these teams won their division.

NL MVP: Bryce Harper

NL CY YOUNG: Clayton Kershaw

NL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Ronald Acuna Jr.

NL MANAGER OF THE YEAR: Mike Matheny

AL CHAMPIONS: Cleveland Indians

The Indians have been the American League's best team the past two seasons.  

NL CHAMPIONS: Los Angeles Dodgers

I'll take the Dodgers over the Cubs in a 7-game thriller.

 

WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS: Cleveland Indians

Chief Wahoo makes his triumphant return by scalping the Dodgers!
