2021 MLB Predictions

 Better late then never...Here are my 2021 MLB Predictions!

2018 MLB Predictions

It's opening day! The Houston Astros are the reigning World Series champs and will have some tough competing this season. Look for the playoff contenders to be similar to those of last season. Here are my predictions for the 2018 season:

MLB 2017 Predictions

It is the first year in 108 years that the Chicago Cubs begin the season as World Series champions. Will they have another magical run and make it back-to-back chamionships? Can the Indians make another run to the World Series? Here are my predictions for the 2017 season.

I think the Cubs will fall to the Giants in the NLDS in the postseason. The Indians have a great pitching staff and I predict them winning the World Series in 2017!

MLB Predictions 2016

Opening day is upon us once again! Is this the year that the Chicago Cubs finally win the Fall Classic? Will the New York Mets dominate the league with their pitching staff full of aces.

NFL 2015 Predictions

It's opening night for the NFL. Tom Brady and his inflated balls take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. How will these teams and the rest of the league fare this season? Here is what I think...

MVP Andrew Luck

AFC Wild Card Broncos over Texans

AFC Wild Card Chiefs over Bengals

NFC Wild Card Packers over Cardinals

NFC Wild Card Eagles over Saints

AFC Divisional Colts over Chiefs

AFC Divisional Patriots over Broncos

NFC Divisional Seahawks over Eagles

NFC Divisional Cowboys over Packers

AFC Conference Colts over Patriots

NFC Conference Seahawks over Cowboys

Super Bowl 50 Seahawks over Colts

I think that the Seahawks will return to their third straight Super Bowl and beat the Colts in Super Bowl 50. Russell Wilson knows how to win in the playoffs and this time he will hand the ball of to Marshawn Lynch on the 1 yard line and lead the Seahawks to victory.

MLB 2015 Predictions

AL MVP    Mike Trout
NL MVP    Giancarlo Stanton

AL East             Boston Red Sox
AL Central         Cleveland Indians
AL West            Seattle Mariners
AL Wild Card     Los Angeles Angels
AL Wild Card     Chicago White Sox

NL East            Washington Nationals

AL Wild Card Game   White Sox over Angels
NL Wild Card Game   Dodgers over Marlins

ALDS   Mariners over White Sox, Red Sox over Indians
NLDS   Nationals over Dodgers, Cardinals over Padres

ALCS   Mariners over Red Sox

NLCS   Nationals over Cardinals

World Series   Nationals over Mariners

The Giants and the Royals should have solid teams again, but I don't see either team making it back to the playoffs this season.  I like the Mariner's chances this season in the American League with King Felix. They have a solid offense and I look for them to make it to their first World Series. In the National League, the Nationals have one of the best pitching rotations in a long time and a great offense. They are my pick to win the World Series for the 2015 season.

Baltimore/Kansas City Playoff Appearances

If you had Baltimore and Kansas City picked for the ALCS this season then you are a liar. Both teams were very relevant throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; however, neither team has reached an ALCS since 1997, when Baltimore lost to the Cleveland Indians. The Royals last made the ALCS in 1985, a year in which they won the World Series in 7 games against St. Louis. The Royals and Orioles will go head-to-head in the playoffs for the first time beginning Friday night.
