The Baseball season begins on
Thursday afternoon. It is the first time
in years that all the teams will begin on the same day which I think is great. I am going to do a prediction segment here
which is always fun because how often are we right?? Especially since baseball is such a long
season and has so many twists and turns but that is what makes it so great. I will start with the local teams first, the
New York Yankees and New York Mets.
New York Yankees: Prediction is
first place in the AL East. They were
the darlings of the world last year with the Baby Bombers well now they are all
grown up and added reigning NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton. They have the same five starters that ended
last year one game away from the World Series and they still have that very
good and very deep bullpen. It is hard
not seeing them winning the division and making another run in the
postseason. They are back to being the
Evil Empire.
New York Mets: I am picking them 2nd in the NL
East and a wild card team. I think the
Nationals are too good for the Mets to overtake but they should make it back to
the postseason. Their season mainly hinges
on the health of their starting rotation.
I think Jacob DeGrom and Noah Syndergaard will be healthy though and
then if you get anything out of Matt Harvey, Jason Vargas, Zach Wheeler, Seth
Lugo, Steven Matz then they really have something. I think they improved the bullpen and like
what they did by signing Todd Frazier and resigning Jay Bruce. They have a pretty good team that if healthy
can be a playoff team.
