2013 Season Predictions: Take 2

Here's my take on the 2013 season:

American League:

AL East - Tampa Bay Rays
AL Central - Detroit Tigers
AL West - Los Angeles Angels
Wildcards - Baltimore Orioles, Oakland A's

AL MVP - Evan Longoria
AL Cy Young - Justin Verlander
AL Rookie of the year - Trevor Bauer

AL champs: Detroit Tigers

National League:

NL East - Washington Nationals
NL Central - Cincinnati Reds
NL West - San Francisco Giants
Wildcards - Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers

NL MVP - Bryce Harper
NL Cy Young - Stephen Strasburg
NL Rookie of the year - Julio Teheran

NL Champs: Washington Nationals

World Series: Tigers over Nationals in 6.

I think the Tigers will finally show up in the World Series and bring the title back to Motown. It'll be a tough matchup. Both teams have excellent rotations with great lineups. The Nats have more speed and a stronger bullpen. The Tigers have more sluggers and a veteran savy team. The Nats have a lot of youth which may be their downfall. This Tigers team was there last year and they bolster an even stronger lineup. Verlander being the competitor he is, won't allow another bad showing. Paired with the added leadership of Torii Hunter and the bat of Victor Martinez to an already strong lineup, the Tigers should be able to hold off the Nationals.
Baseball is a long and crazy season and can't wait for it to start!
