So many ‘MLB standings’ predictions are going around so lets do a real one. A accurate one!
Lets start with the Al East:
- NY Yankees 118-44
- Rays 85-77
- Blue Jays 78-84
- Red Sox 70-92
- Oriels 60-102
This one was EASY! Rays got worse by losing their 4 best hitters is Pham, Garcia, Aguilar and Guillermo Heredia. They traded their best bullpen arm and they cannot expect career years from their pitchers again. The O’s and Redsux are messes and the Jays have tons of work left to even approach the Yankees.
AL Central:
- Twins 93-69
- CHI White Sox 88-74
- Indians 80-82
- Royals 75-87
- Tigers 62-100
Interesting one here… The white Sox added several piecesthat make them a WC team. The Twins got better and worse at the same time. The Indians are a mess and most likely trading Lindor. The Royals have improved but still have a bit to go to get back to contention. The Tigers are as bad as they come…
Al West:
- Athletics 90-72
- Rangers 88-74
- Astros 85-77
- LA Angels 82-80
- Mariners 75-87
Interesting again. The Astros are going to struggle all year as they don’t have the pitching to really compete and their hitter will be targets all season. The A’s with Manaea all year will be the Division winner. The Rangers are a major threat due to getting Kluber. The Angels are bad still. Not even half the pitching needed. The M’s just plain suck!

NL East:
- Braves 95-67
- Phillies 90-72
- Nats 88-74
- NY Mets 82-80
- Marlins 65-97
The Braves are the team to beat. Pitching f=defense and hitting! The Phillies added Wheeler and Didi AND ETC making them a 90 win team. The Nats are a bit worse without Rendon. Keiboom has big shoes to fill. The Mets are bad. Not near enough pitching or quite enough hitting. The Marlins? *SIGHS*…
NL Central:
- Reds 90-72
- CHI Cubs 88-74
- Brewers 85-77
- Cardinals 83-79
- Pirates 80-82
Tight close division. Cardinals lost several major pieces and may not even win 80 games. Cubs are still good but pitching is a question mark. The Reds are the best in the division with a great rotation and lineup! Brewers will still compete but fall short.
NL West:
- LA Dodgers 102-60
- Padres 82-80
- D-Backs 80-82
- Rockies 67-95
- Giants 60-102
Terrible, TERRIBLE division here. NO team to even push the Dodgers. Padres getting close but desperately need pitching! Rockies going to trade Arenado. D-Backs a mess and same with the Giants.
NL Awards:

CY Young: Walker Beuhler LAD
ROY: Austin Riley ATL
MOY: David Ross CHC
THAW: Josh Hader MIL
NL Playoffs:

- Braves vs 3. Reds
NL PLay-in game: Cubs beat Nats 1-0
WC: Phillies Beat Cubs 1-0
NLDS 1: Dodgers defeat Phillies 3-0
NLDS 2: Reds Defeat Braves 3-2
NLCS: Dodgers defeat Reds 4-2
WORLD SERIES: Yankees defeat Dodgers 4-1
There you have it! The correct predictions! I go off actual things not made up BS or fake team hype! I made my best judgements on the awards base off the way the players feel and what they have to prove and such.
