Revisiting my MLB predictions again
I originally posted my MLB predicitons on March 30, and I revised them on July 10. Let's see how I did.
NL East 3/30 Braves 7/10 Mets
My 7/10 prediction held up, but it was pretty much already a certainty by then.
NL Central 3/30 Cardinals 7/10 Reds
Boy, did the Cards ever try to blow the division. But they didn't. I should have stuck with the original prediction.
NL West 3/30 Dodgers 7/10 Dodgers
The Dodgers had to settle for the Wild Card, with the Padres winning the division.
NL Wild Card 3/30 Brewers 7/10 Cardinals
Well, given how crappy their record was, and how they barely made the playoffs, it sure FEELS like the Cards are the Wild Card team...
NL Cy Young 3/30 Jake Peavy 7/10 Brandon Webb
Peavy was a terrible prediction, although he pitched fairly well, despite his record. Webb could still win it, he's currently third on ESPN's Cy Young Predictor. They have Billy Wagner winning it, but I think they'll go with a starter, and Chris Carpenter will repeat.
NL MVP 3/30 Albert Pujols 7/10 Albert Pujols
Ryan Howard might eek this out, but since he didn't make the playoffs and Albert did, I might have called this one right from the beginning.
NL Champs 3/30 Cardinals 7/10 Cardinals
Still possible.....
AL East 3/30 Yankees 7/10 Yankees
My theory that the Yankees will win this division every year until the end of time served me well once again.
AL Central 3/30 White Sox 7/10 White Sox
My confidence in the defending champs was misplaced all year, as the Twins took the division and the Tigers took the Wild Card.
AL West 3/30 Angels 7/10 Angels
The A's won. Another bad prediction for me.
AL Wild Card 3/30 Blue Jays 7/10 Tigers
Woo hoo! My revised prediction was right! Even if I was wrong about the team that would beat the Tigers in the Central.
AL Champs 3/30 White Sox 7/10 White Sox
That is looking rather unlikely.
AL Cy Young 3/30 Roy Halladay 7/10 Roy Halladay
Roy is 8th on the Cy Young predictor. It looks like Johan Santana.
AL MVP 3/30 Alex Rodriguez 7/10 David Ortiz
I do think Ortiz had the best overall numbers in the AL, but missing the playoffs could hurt him. My hunch says Derek Jeter.
Your 2006 World Series Champions 3/30 Cardinals 7/10 Cardinals
Woohoo! Sticking with it.
