2007 MLB predictions!

OK folks one week to go before Opening Day. Whoohoo. So what better time than now to record our predictions for this season? Let's try to bump this thread occassionally so that we can take a look back and see in October how little we actually knew.

I'll start! I reserve the right to change these until next Monday (screw Sunday's prime-time game, Opening Day is Monday):

AL EAST: Red Sox
AL CENTRAL: Tigers
AL WEST: Angels
AL WILD CARD: Yankees

NL EAST: Braves
NL CENTRAL: Brewers (hi Bubbler!)
NL WEST: D-Backs
NL WILD CARD: Padres

Still not sure about the playoffs. Switching Papelbon to the bullpen really could tilt the balance of power in the AL.

AL MVP: Grady Sizemore (gotta be this year damnit)
AL CY YOUNG: Johan Santana (who else?)
AL ROY: Philip Hughes

NL MVP: Andruw Jones, Atl
NL CY YOUNG: Ben Sheets, Milw
NL ROY: Chris Young, Arz

PLAYOFFS: Red Sox over Angels, Yankees over Tigers; Brewers over Padres, Braves over DBacks
LCS: Yankees over Red Sox; Braves over Brewers
WORLD SERIES: Yankees over Braves

 

Ken Griffey Jr. will not finish the season healthy.

 

Sportschick thereby assures she can say she got all her predictions right even though she doesn't like baseball.

 

Hey, I'm not a fraud like you. I make sure my predictions are good ones

 

Scoreboard.

 

Scoreboard:

Peyton Manning -- Super Bowl MVP.

Eat it, biatch!

 

You're worthy of your SportsJournalists.com March Madness victory.

 

Early candidate for post of the year,

 

AL EAST: Blue Jays

NL WEST: Giants
NL WILD CARD: Mets

AL MVP: Wells

I predict that I will hear from the Future more than once this season: "I want to blow up Major League Baseball."

 

AL EAST: Red Sox
AL CENTRAL: Tigers
AL WEST: Angels
AL WILD CARD: Yankees

NL EAST: Phillies
NL CENTRAL: Astros
NL WEST: Dodgers

Wild Card: Blue Jays

MVP: Joe Mauer
Cy: Halladay
ROY: I have no idea

NL:
East Mets
Central: Brewers (becuase this entire division truly sucks)
West: Padres
Wild card: Phillies

Other things to bet on:

O/U on BYH calling A-Rod a fraud = 42
O/U on BYH saying the Mets suck = 36
O/U on Chris L (does he still exist?) touting some .220-hitting Red Sox minor leaguer as the next great thing = 16
O/U on somebody : calling Joe Mauer soft = 21
