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 Phillies-Phillies have a good shot at successfully defending their title, but will fall short.
AL
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 Rasmus–Cardinals 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.
