Predictions sure to be wrong:
American League
Yankees, Indians and Astros winning their divisions with Oakland and Rays being the wild card teams.

Oakland win the WC match then get swept by the Yankees. Astros beat Indians in a close series.

Yankees beat Astros in 6 games.

National League
Nationals, Cardinals and Dodgers are division champs. Reds and Braves are in the WC. Braves win to be knocked out by the Dodgers. Cardinals lose to the Nationals.

Dodgers beat the Nationals only losing twice in the post season.

Yankees beat Dodgers in 6.

yeah, I predict nobody wins a hundred games this year and the Cy Young award is cancelled and the winner gets the King Felix award this year instead. also when the Astr*s win the World Series, they get double asterisked. if the Blue Jays win the World Series, they hold their parade in Buffalo or Timbuktu or wherever they wind up playing. Mike Trout winds up batting .400, if he plays. and somewhere, someone who opted out is gonna wanna opt back in when their team starts looking like real contenders. and safe at home is gonna take on a whole new meaning this season.

Remember when this thread started and everything was normal.

I predict that the Yankees will win the World Series in this asterisk laden season, because of course.
