I like your predictions. I’m a bit surprised that you don’t think any team will win over 94 games, but I guess the league has leveled out a bit over the past few years.
Let me know what you think about these predictions:
http://sportshubris.com/content/mlb-2008-predictions-parts-1-7
Alex Rodriguez the American league’s MVP? How come all of a sudden? What’s different statistically now than any other playoff appearances he’s had? Are you referring to his ditching of Boras? Less stress maybe? Do you think he’s due? What?
JLS
League MVP’s aren’t based on playoff appearances, so I didn’t even consider those. The selection is based on he is purely the best player in the American League
The Tigers are 0-6 so far and both R.Sox and Yankees are having trouble to win their games.
I guess this could be a season where the favorites will not prevail…
Thats very possible, I’m sure the Sox and Yankees get in to gear remember the yankees were in 4th place well into may last year, and also a couple times pretty far back going into the 2nd month.
the tigers are def a team to worry about thou, no 0-5 team has ever gotten to or won a world series
2 for 8 in teams that make the playoffs?
I guess you need the Red Sox to make it to the Series to salvage your 2008 MLB Predictions.
haha yea i do. i’d have to say i prefer they don’t and screw the predictions haha.
what a season thou!
