Its opening day morning! Here I lay out my 2013 season predicions!
AL Predictions:
AL East Champion: Baltimore Orioles
AL Central Champion: Detroit Tigers
AL West Champion: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Wild Card Winners: Toronto Blue Jays/Texas Rangers
AL Most Valuable Player: Mike Trout
AL Cy Young: Justin Verlander
AL Rookie of the Year: Will Myers
AL Champion: Detroit Tigers
NL Predictions:
NL East Champion: Washington Nationals
NL Central Champion: Cincinnati Reds
NL West Champion: San Francisco Giants
Wild Card Winners: Atlanta Braves/Los Angeles Dodgers
NL Most Valuable Player: Joey Votto
NL Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw
NL Rookie of the Year: Julio Teheran
NL Champion: Washington Nationals
World Series Predictions:
Nationals over Tigers in 6 games
World Series MVP: Ryan Zimmerman
I see the Nationals defeating the Tigers in the World Series this year. Washington may be the only team with more talent stacked into their rotation than the Tigers. And their bullpen is lights out as well. With half the games not allowing for a designated hitter, that means the Tigers either lose Victor Martinez's bat, or Alex Avila's much better glove behind the dish. This is big advantage for the Nationals, and I think they prevail on the shoulders of their pitching staff and Ryan Zimmerman. Hopefully I'm wrong!
Happy Opening Day folks, it's been a long winter, and meaningful baseball means Spring is officially here (even if the weather disagrees)! In order to get prepared for the Tigers opener tomorrow, check out my series preview.
Have a blessed Easter!
