2015 MLB Predictions Thread

I really don't understand why everyone continues to pick the Nationals as World Series Champions. They haven't even proven they can make it out of the NLDS. They may look good on paper but they aren't the best team.

If Jays are healthy, I see it being a low 90s win team. If they have injuries...who knows what'll happen,anywhere from like 10 games above or below .500 is my guess.

Wonder how many HRs we'll see combined from Bautista-EE-Donaldson(last season they combined for 98. That's more than the Royals team lol). So with Donaldson playing at Rogers Centre now,his total could go up. Wonder if they'll get to 100.

Edited my predictions to reflect moving Atlanta to 4th in the NL East after the Craig Kimbrel trade.

At the beginning of the year, the only thing you can do is choose the best team on paper. Baseball is a long season with too many variables to predict something to happen 6+ months from now. The best team doesn't usually win the World Series. The team that catches fire and plays there best baseball during the last month of the season does. It's pretty hard to pick that team in April

Then why do so many people like the White Sox?
