Every year my son and I do MLB predictions prior to the season starting.
The prize for the most correct predictions- you get to call the following year's predictions MLB Facts, while the loser has to call theirs MLB Fiction.
As you can tell by the title of this post for the second consecutive year I am doling out MLB Fiction. Hopefully this will be the year that leads me back to the facts.
For posterity, here are the picks I made for the 2025 MLB Season:
AL East
New York Yankees
Boston Red Sox
Baltimore Orioles
Toronto Blue Jays
Tampa Bay Rays
AL Central
Minnesota Twins
KC Royals
Detroit Tigers
Cleveland Guardians
Chicago White Sox
AL West
Houston Astros
Texas Rangers
Seattle Mariners
Oakland A's
Los Angeles Angels
NL East
NY Mets
Atlanta Braves
Philadelphia Phillies
Washington Nationals
Miami Marlins
NL Central
Chicago Cubs
Milwaukee Brewers
Cincinnati Reds
St Louis Cardinals
Pittsburgh Pirates
NL West
Los Angeles Dodgers
Arizona Diamondbacks
San Diego Padres
SF Giants
Colorado Rockies
AL Wildcard Round
Orioles vs Astros- Orioles
Red Sox vs Royals- Royals
NL Wildcard Round
Phillies vs Cubs- Phillies
DBacks vs Braves- Braves
AL Divisional Round
Orioles vs Yankees- Orioles
Royals vs Twins- Twins
NL Divisional Round
Phillies vs Dodgers- Dodgers
Braves vs Mets- Mets
AL Championship Series
Orioles vs Twins- Twins
Mets vs Dodgers- Dodgers
World Series
Twins vs Dodgers- Dodgers
*** The AL is a complete crapshoot. I have no idea what will happen. I originally had Yankees vs Dodgers in the world series again but I couldn't stand the thought of it so I changed my entire AL playoff outcome to boot the Yankees out. Looks like I will be spewing fiction again next year.
Sats for all,
