Playoff Predictions

Now that you’ve gotten a little insight on to what our staff thinks of this Cubs team in 2016, it’s time to reveal our LCS and World Series predictions. Only two didn’t pick the Cubs, and they didn’t have them making it to the World Series. Most odd to me is no one had the “even-year” winning Giants taking it all. Here’s a look at who we think you’ll see in late October.

Award Winner Picks

There’s a handful of players in the league that you just know are going to be good. This year we seem to think that Paul Goldschmidt and Chris Sale are two of them. We also seem to feel that the AL MVP is a two man race between Carlos Correa and Mike Trout. No doubt there will be some surprises before it’s all said and done–like Jake Arrieta last year–but hopefully we’ll be right on some of these.
