MLB Predictions 2009
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
With Opening Day just around the corner, it's time to see who everyone chose for the World Series in 2009! I may remind you just how pitiful I've done in my own competition in recent years. Last year, I chose both the Tigers and Mariners to win their divisions... they both finished in last place. But some of us did alright, including defending champion Seth Stohs, who was the only one to correctly pick either World Series team.
Just for the record, I do actually hate the Indians, especially with them being in the AL Central with the Twins, but I think it's their year. If Hafner and Martinez are all back to top form, Shin-Soo Choo and Kelly Shoppach keep getting better, and Sizemore and Lee put up their usual numbers, they'll be tough to beat.
Here are the final tallies for World Series winners: Twins (9), Yankees (4), Angels (3), Cubs (3), Red Sox (3), Phillies (2), Mets (2), Cardinals (1), Dodgers (1), Indians (1), Rays (1).
