2019 MLB Predictions

[Scraps 13603]

I think this normally gets started by BigOrange or clogs up the main MLB thread so just making it stand alone so that we can laugh at each others horrendous predictions.  Who you got in the divisions?  Who you got in the playoffs?  MVPs, Cy Youngs? ROY?   Bold predictions?   And go......

I just don't get picking the Twins to win the ALC.  I like Berrios, but after that, their pitching staff is ass.  Pineda is hurt and overrated.  I could easily see them only winning 70-something games.

I think it’s possible if 1) Buxton and Sano play more like 2017 and less like the sub-replacement level players they were last year and 2) the Indians miscalculated how much payroll they can cut and still win. Their rotation is great, but injuries to Lindor and Ramirez give you a glimpse of a lineup that’s otherwise underwhelming and their bullpen is mediocre.

I agree with you in general though, I wouldn’t pick them.

[Beau Vine 55025]

I think Buxton will be a stud this year, but I don't see any reason to assume Sano isn't going to suck. 

And yeah, the Indians have a worse outfield than Baltimore.

[UTexasFight 9660]

IDK all of this but I know Padres will be a wild card.
Maybe Reds but I’ll go Padres

[UTPhil2006 3838]

Bump.

My AL doesn’t look that bad....my NL looks like dog shit 

[UTPhil2006 3838]

My AL I missed on a couple. My NL had a few more misses but overall on both not bad. 

[Beau Vine 55025]

 

[UTPhil2006 3838]

Missed the Rockies and Red Sox but everything else was pretty spot on.

[Pato del Muerto 52971]

A big haha to everyone for picking the rangers 5th in the ALW. 3rd baby!
