In light of the upcoming MLB (Major League Baseball Abs) Season that begins on Sunday I want to make my annual pre-season picks. I know that last year Chuck and Matt made picks as well so I welcome them to do it again. If any of you other bloggers or blog followers want to make picks please do so. You can either make them here in the comment section or post them on your own blog.
2010 Predictions:
AL East – New York Yankees
AL Central – MN Twins
AL West – Seattle Mariners (My slight upset pick over the Angels – their pitching will be solid. The question is can they produce enough runs?)
Wild Card – Tampa Bay Rays
NL East – Philadelphia Phillies
NL Central – St. Louis Cardinals
NL West – Los Angeles Dodgers
NL Wildcard – Cincinnati Reds (the 15 year playoff draught comes to an end this year!)
World Series – St. Louis Cardinals vs. New York Yankees
World Series Champs – New York Yankees
No matter what your thoughts are on the Yankees, I think we are set for a repeat. The Yanks pitching is strong again with Sabathia, Burnett, and Pettite leading the way. The bullpen is better than last year with Joba back in the setup role. They lose Matsui and Damon but the addition of Granderson and Nick Johnson is huge. I think Cano will have a monster year batting 5th behind Teixeriia and Arod.
This year I will enjoy some games at the new Target Field with Chuck. Although my team (the Reds) is far from me I will enjoy witnessing baseball outside again as opposed to the generic atmosphere of the Metrodome.
Opening Day is one of my favorite sports days of the year. Enjoy it on Monday!
