Six months ago, as the 2017 baseball season was scheduled to kick off, I made my annual predictions as to who would win what. Now that the regular season has come to an end, it is time revisit those predictions and see what, if anything, I got right.
American League
East: Red Sox
1 for 1 so far, as the Red Sox held off a late surge from the Yankees to clinch on the season’s second to last day.
Central: Indians
The Indians finished with the best record in the American League thanks to a 32-4 run to close out the season.
West: Mariners
Well, I was a little off on this one, as the Mariners finished in third place, a mere 23 games behind the Astros.
Wild Cards: Blue Jays, Tigers
Both teams finished in last place in their respective divisions, with the Tigers finishing with the worst record in baseball.
AL Champion: Red Sox
It’s a good sign that my pick made the playoffs.
Cy Young: Chris Sale
There is a very good possibility of this coming to fruition.
MVP: Francisco Lindor
There is very little possibility of this coming to fruition.
