2023 MLB Predictions Sure to be Wrong

 The 2023 Baseball season starts tomorrow!! Horrible last year as always.  I watched a couple WBC games, so I'm ready for the season.  That final at-bat with Ohtani and Trout was a classic.  Their team must win the division every year... On to the predictions:

AL East:
1. Tampa Bay Rays (96-66)
2. New York Yankees (93-69)
3. Boston Red Sox (93-69)
4. Toronto Blue Jays (79-83)
5. Baltimore Orioles (52-112)

Rays hold off the Yanks and Sox to win the division.

AL Central:
1. Cleveland Guardians (99-63)
2. Minnesota Twins (90-72)
3. Chicago White Sox (81-81)
4. Kansas City Royals (73-89)
5. Detroit Tigers (62-100)

Cleveland is locking up this round of young studs.  Look for a long playoff run :) 

AL West:
1. Houston Astros (101-61)
2. Los Angeles Angels (86-76)
3. Seattle Mariners (75-87)
4. Oakland Athletics (69-93)
5. Texas Rangers (64-98)

Cheating Astros win the division again.  

NL East:
1. Atlanta Braves (94-68)
2. New York Mets (90-72)
3. Philadelphia Phillies (88-74)
4. Washington Nationals (74-88)
5. Miami Marlins (65-97)

Braves roll.  

NL Central:
1. St Louis Cardinals (90-72)
2. Milwaukee Brewers (84-78)
3. Cincinnati Reds (83-79)
4. Chicago Cubs (71-91)
5. Pittsburgh Pirates (60-102)

Horrible division

NL West:
1. Los Angeles Dodgers (101-61)
2. San Diego Padres (92-70)
3. San Francisco Giants (85-77)
4. Arizona Diamondbacks (73-89)
5. Colorado Rockies (67-95)

It's San Diego's year!  The Aztecs win NCAA tourney (MAYBE?!) and the Padres win the pennant. 

AL Wildcard:
New York Yankees 2 Boston Red Sox 1
Tampa Bay Rays 2 Minnesota Twins 0

AL Divisional Series:
Cleveland Guardians 3 Houston Astros 2
New York Yankees 3 Tampa Bay Rays 1

AL Championship Series:
Cleveland Guardians 4 New York Yankees 2

NL Wildcard:
St Louis Cardinals 2 Philadelphia Phillies 1
San Diego Padres 2 NY Mets 0

NL Divisional Series:

Atlanta Braves 3 St Louis Cardinals 0
