So, the season just about 2/3 over. What are the predictions for the final outcome? I'll give you mine.
AL West
Although I was waiting and waiting for the A's to make a comeback, that hasn't happened. Although Seattle are performing pretty damn good, I can't see past the Angels.
AL Central
I'd like to see Cleveland win the division and, despite it being neck-and-neck, I think the Tigers will inch it.
AL East
Despite the Yankees finding some kind of stride, I can't see past Boston.
AL Wild Card
Seattle are placed second but I just don't see it - either the Yankees or the Indians. Although I'd prefer the Indians, I think the Yankees will come through.
NL West
Despite being a 5-horse race (never discount Lamar's effect) I'll plump for the Dodgers.
NL Central
The Brewers have performed admirably but have also out-performed. The winner will be the Cubs.
NL East
Although nowhere near as dominant as I thought they would be at the start of the season, I'll have to go for the Mets. However, I'd love to see Philadelphia make it.
NL Wild Card
It must surely come from the NL West. And I'll pick the Padres.
Oh yes, and Boston to win the World Series.
