It’s that time of year again, although, I don’t think Mother Nature got the memo. The crack of the bat, the pop of the mitt, the cleats on the dugout floor, all take you back to that special time in your life when baseball was king. You were young (or young at heart), and not to mention warmer weather was on the way. In this blog, I will break down who I think will win divisions, and ultimately the World Series. Now that each team has had the chance to play, being that opening day was a few days ago, you can start making your assumptions, predictions, etc. Is this the year young teams such as the Cubs make a push and get over the drought? Do the Nationals make a run with all the power and talent on the roster? Or maybe the Cardinals miss the postseason all together in a very, very competitive NL Central. I hope you enjoy, and I hope these predictions ring true this October!
