Hello everyone, and if you haven't noticed, the Major League Baseball season kicks off in earnest later today. Admittedly, I'm not as high on baseball as I used to be, thanks in part to a broken financial system, an incompetent commissioner, and a wishy-washy owner...talking to YOU Stu Sternberg.
Be that as it may, the season is still happening, so I thought I would provide you with who I think will do well, and not so well, this season. Starting off with the overwhelming and obvious pick to win the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Barring virtually their entire starting lineup getting injured, a possible asteroid strike, or a bizarre executive order from President Trump (hey, you never know), I don't see how they won't win at least their division this year.
So, that leaves who's left to challenge them? Well, certainly not the White Sox, who set the record for most losses in a season, and don't look to be much better this season. Then there's the Pathetics Athletics, who are spending the next couple of seasons in Sacramento while they await their new home in Las Vegas to be built. Plus, the Marlins, who can't seem to get out of their own way (seriously, how did this franchise win two World Series in their first eleven seasons?). I think those three teams will lose at least 100 this season.
The teams that could seriously challenge the Dodgers? I could be cynical and say the Yankees because they have more money than God (as late Virginia Beach sports talker Tony Mercurio used to say), but I see that Lee Corso is utilizing his most famous phrase...
Garritt Cole is injured, and so is Giancarlo Stanton. And suddenly the AL East is wide friggin open. I'd love to pick my Rays, but no offense, they have no offense. Maybe this is Baltimore's year.
In any rate, my picks are as follows:
AL Central: Guardians
AL West: Rangers
WC 1: Yankees
WC 2: Astros
WC 3: Royals
Pennant: Rangers
NL Central: Cubs
NL West: Dodgers
WC 2: Barves
WC 3: Padres
Enjoy the season, peeps!
