Six months ago, at the dawn of the 2019 baseball season, 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: Yankees
Well, one for one so far. This one wasn’t particularly close, as the Yankees won 103 games and won the division by 7 games.
Central: Indians
So much for going perfect. The Indians saw their run of 3 consecutive division titles come to an end at the hands of the upstart Twins.
West: Astros
The Astros put up the best record in baseball, so this one was pretty much a gimme.
Wild Cards: Red Sox, Angels
No and No. Right divisions, but the Rays and the A’s took home the Wild Cards.
AL Champion: Astros
This one is looking pretty good.
Cy Young: Justin Verlander
As is this one. It will likely come down to him or teammate Gerrit Cole.
MVP: George Springer
I think I picked the wrong Astro.
