Ok, it's time stir the pot and muddy the waters with my near perfect mid-season baseball predictions. This particular blog always gets the most reaction so let's hit it!
THE CUBS will win their division. WHAT???!!!??? yes, it's true because they have too much talent and that division really sucks. the brewers strong bullpen is starting to waver and can JOSH HADER pitch every day? the cardinals need a monster second half from goldschmidt and a healthy molina to contend. pirates & reds will fade but with bright futures. i picked the cubs to win 88 games and if they do that..............
The other two division winners are/should be the LOS ANGELES DODGERS and the ATLANTA BRAVES, who are starting to flex their muscles in the NL east and look to be in line for a few division titles in a row.
the phillies are learning all about the definition of "OVERPAYING" as BRYCE HARPER chugs along with a .253 average with 16 home runs and 62 rbi's.
just to put it in perspective, ANTHONY RIZZO's numbers are .272/16/58, a gold glove and makes a whole lot LESS money. the fun part is that the phillies signed pretty boy to THIRTEEN FREAKING YEARS!
and in case you're wondering, the other overpaid mutt who is now playing for san diego isn't doing any better. MANNY MACHADO is .266/20/58 and is also signed for a generation. ouch to both.
so fill out the NL playoffs with the WASHINGTON NATIONALS and THE COLORADO ROCKIES as wild cards with the dodgers advancing to the big show in october.
*****************************
The american league has the astros, yankees and minnesota streaking to the playoffs which leaves the two wild card spots to the CLEVELAND INDIANS and the TAMPA BAY RAYS. oakland, boston & texas will fall short. look for the HOUSTON ASTROS in a rematch of the 2017 world series with the DODGERS wearing a ring for the first time since 1988.
