MLB Predictions 2017

Baseball is back. Hell yea dude, time for predictions so I can look back and laugh at how much I believed in the Mariners/DBacks. Don't expect anything too bold, I'm a big pussy.

Predictions by division (First team listed = first place, etc.)
NL West: Dodgers, Giants, DBacks, Rockies, Padres
	Comments: I'm gonna overrate the DBacks again. I really like the DBacks, I refuse to believe they're bad. Pollock is healthy,
	Greinke could bounce back. Rockies biggest add was Desmond at  first base?????? Very strange. I could see the Giants winning the
	divison but I hate the Giants, so second place it is.
NL Central: Cubs, Cardinals, Pirates, Reds, Brewers
	Comments: The Brewers might finish above the Reds but it doesn't really matter. I don't see a big shake up in this division unless
	McCutchen starts playing like an all star again, then maybe the Pirates get second. Fowler move and Lynn coming back after missing
	all of last season has me feeling decent about the Cards, their bullpen is a lil shaky tho.
NL East: Nats, Mets, Marlins, Braves, Phillies
	Comments: Nats are real good. Some of the pitchers on the Mets are made of glass, I don't think the Mets are gonna do great this
	season. Braves made these weird moves that make them not the worst but still not good. Phillies have potential in the future, not
	seeing them doing too much now.
AL West: Astros, Mariners, Rangers, Angels, A's
	Comments: Astros have been hyped up for a while, I think this could be a good year for them. Hopeful bounceback year for Keuchel,
	Correa and Altuve continue being super good. I believe in the Mariners. Their rotation is questionable but I think their offense is
	so good that they can make the playoffs. Rangers one run game record from last year is obviously not sustainable but they honestly
	still could have a big season with a full season of Darvish.
AL Central: Indians, Tigers, Royals, Twins, White Sox
	Comments: I dunno if the White Sox are actually worse than the Twins but the White Sox are probably going to continue to trade
	people away so they could get last place. I want them to get last place, so this prediction is partly fueled by my heart instead of
	my mind. If the Indians don't win this division it will be wacky. Tigers did like nothin this offseason. Royals could have some
	dudes bounce back but I still don't see them doing anything too surprising.
AL East: Red Sox, Blue Jays, Orioles, Yankees, Rays
	Comments: I wanna put the Yankees ahead of the Orioles but the Orioles always do better than I think so I'm gonna keep it like
	this. Rays aren't bad but they're not that great either. Red Sox lost Ortiz but added Sale, so I think they'll do well.

AL Wild Card: Blue Jays, Mariners
NL Wild Card: Cardinals, Giants
AL Champ: Indians
NL Champ: Nationals
World Series Champ: Indians
	Comments: My predictions are pretty standard. Strasburg stops dying before the playoffs and is able to dominate with Scherzer to
	get to the World Series. Indians rotation is super good and hopefully healthy this time around. Their lineup is great, I think they
	get back and win the World Series. I was tempted to make the prediction of Mariners/Cards w/ Mariners winning just to be bold, but
	I don't believe in either team's pitching enough to realistically get there. Could happen tho, playoffs are crazy.

Awards(Rational and Sleeper pick):
AL MVP: Mike Trout | Francisco Lindor
	Comments: Is Lindor a sleeper? I dunno. With Trout being as good as he is, I feel like pretty much anyone else is a sleeper.
NL MVP: Paul Goldschmidt | AJ Pollock
	Comments: Gee willikers this looks familiar. As noted earlier, I have an irrational belief in the DBacks, probably because these
	guys are so good. And Pollock isn't injured for the whole season this time around
AL Cy Young: Chris Sale | Jose Quintana
	Comments: This one looks p familiar too. I wouldn't doubt Sale gets it now that he has a good team with a competent defense. And
	I'm too much of a homer not to put Quintana as my sleeper.
NL Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw | Noah Syndergaard
	Comments: Had to edit this in, forgot it at first. Kershaw is too good man. Syndergaard throws real fast tho so maybe he has a
	chance.
AL ROY: Andrew Benintendi | Jharel Cotton
	Comments: Andrew Chicken Tender is a real easy pick. He's already looked good so I don't doubt he'll continue that. Cotton looked
	fantastic is his short stint last year. He may have just been lucky but who knows.
NL ROY: Dansby Swanson | idk
	Comments: Would put Reyes as the sleeper but he had to go and hurt himself. Swanson still qualifying as a rookie is wack but since
	he does, he's the easy pick.
AL Manager of the Year: Scott Servais(Mariners)
NL Manager of the Year: Torey Lovullo(DBacks)
AL Comeback Player: Michael Brantley
NL Comeback Player: Lance Lynn
	Comments: No sleepers for these ones since they're pretty minor. Pretty easy predictions, the two teams I think are gonna exceed
	expectations have their managers as manager of the year. Two players that had major injuries last year that I think will come back
	strong as the comeback players.

Hopefully this wasn't too awful to read, formatting was weird with comments and writing has been my weak point for a long time. Looking forward to this season, gonna be awesome to watch.
