2008 MLB Predictions

I know the season has already technically kicked off (Red Sox and A's splitting a two game series in Tokyo) but Sunday night opens the season here in the USA with the Braves and Nationals.



Here are my predictions. I just wanted to say that I think this is going to be another exciting season...meaning that almost every division is going to have a race and multiple teams are going to have a chance of getting into the playoffs.




AL East Division Winner: New York Yankees


AL Central Division Winner: Cleveland Indians


AL West Division Winner: Seattle Mariners


AL Wild Card Winner: Detroit Tigers




NL East Division Winner: Philadelphia Phillies


NL Central Division Winner: Chicago Cubs


NL West Division Winner: San Diego Padres


NL Wild Card Winner: Atlanta Braves




Tigers over the Yankees


Indiana over Mariners




ALCS: Tigers over Indians




Cubs over Braves


Padres over Phillies




NLCS: Cubs over Padres




World Series: Cubs over Tigers.
A rematch of the 1908 World Series...ironically enough (or maybe not) the last time the Cubbies won.




I would worry that I've jinxed the Cubs chances...but come on now...everybody knows better than that.




Here's a few more predictions:


AL MVP: Alex Rodriguez


NL MVP: Aramis Ramirez




AL Cy Young: Felix Hernandez


NL Cy Young: Jake Peavy

Come September, this post could be your ticket to a desk at ESPN! What would you do with your auctioneer's license then?

You could bring some real change to sports punditry. Yes you can!
