2014 SEASON PREVIEW (PART 10): Predictions for the Season, without any further explanations (except one)
It’s time. Who will be the division winners? Who will win the World Series? Time to see my predictions… without further explanation (except for one).
AL East: Boston Red Sox
AL Central: Detroit Tigers
AL West: Texas Rangers
AL Wild Cards: Tampa Rays, Oakland Athletics
AL Champion: Detroit Tigers
NL East: Washington Nationals
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals
NL West: LA Dodgers
NL Wild Cards: Reds and Giants
NL Champion: St. Louis Cardinals
And finally….
World Series Champion: St. Louis Cardinals
So why do I think the Cardinals are going to win it all this year? Well, it’s partly my gut, but there is also plenty of good logic behind it. While they have lost Carlos Beltran, the fact remains that their young players- and they have some good ones- will be one more year experienced. And, what’s more, many of those young players are pitchers (such as 2013’s postseason hero Michael Wacha and fire-balling reliever Trevor Rosenthal), and as always pitching is the way to October success. Mix that with their experienced players like Adam Wainwright and Matt Holliday, and you have a team that should be one of the favorites to win the World Series in 2014.
2014 SEASON PREVIEW (PART 9): Predictions for Awards without any further explanations
To predict awards is often even harder than to predict the actual results of the season. So I’m going to just get this out of the way quickly, without any explanation. So you can try to guess why I’m going out on a limb and predicting Matt Moore as AL Cy Young winner, but I’m not telling. Unless I’m right, in which case you can be sure I’ll go into detail on my brilliant genius.
And, yes, that was meant to be sarcastic.
AL MVP: Mike Trout
NL MVP: Andrew McCutchen
AL Cy Young: Matt Moore
NL Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw
AL Rookie of the Year: Xander Bogaerts
NL Rookie of the Year: Billy Hamilton
AL Manager of the Year: Brad Ausmus
NL Manager of the Year: Fredi Gonzalez
MVP of Yesterday for March 23, 2014 is… Dee Gordon
Last night’s/today’s game between the D-Backs and Dodgers was hardly a shining example of baseball. Ryu did great but only lasted five innings, Yasiel Puig had to leave the game with an injury… so I’ll go with Dee Gordon, who went 3-4 with an RBI and scored twice.
Standings:
Dee Gordon: 1
MVP of Yesterday for… March 22, 2014 is… Scott Van Slyke
Yes, it’s time to start up the old MVP of Yesterday Machine. Well, due to time differences, it is actually today, but, anyway, the first MVP of Yesterday is Scott Van Slyke, who went 2-3 with 2 RBIs, both from the first MLB Home Run ever hit in Australia. And the Southern Hemisphere, when you think about it.
