Playoff Predictions

Looks like it should be a good year for the two biggest cities in America, as both of their baseball teams should make the playoffs.

NL

Cubs over Mets (Wild Card)

Phillies over Dodgers

Cubs over Phillies-Phillies have a good shot at successfully defending their title, but will fall short.

AL

Red Sox over Indians

Yankees (Wild Card) over Angels

Yankees over Red Sox-I hate both these teams with a passion, but both of their season’s will be a disappointment if they don’t make it at least this far.

World Series

Yankees over Cubs-My two least favorite teams playing each other in the World Series. Better start praying for a giant meteor now.

Cy Young

NL-Chris Carpenter-OK, a little bit of this is me being a Cardinals homer, but he does have a legitimate shot at winning this award if his arm healed the way it should have.

AL-Roy Halladay-Pitching a lot against the AL East might hurt his chances, but if he duplicates last year’s numbers (and somebody doesn’t have a fluke season like Cliff Lee did last year) he should run away with this award.

MVP

NL-Albert Pujols-He contends for this award every year, and this year shouldn’t be any different.

AL-Grady Sizemore-If he can raise his BA a bit he can not only win this award but help his team back it to the playoffs.

Rookie of the Year

NL-Colby RasmusCardinals have a legit threat to win all three of the major individual awards.

AL-Matt LaPorta-The key piece to last year’s CC Sabathia trade should help Sizemore and Pronk (Travis Hafner) capture the AL Central.
