Chicago Cubs: Five predictions for the 2017 season

After some “success” with my second half predictions for the Chicago Cubs, I figured it was worth doing another one for the 2017 season. After what we saw last season, I don’t know if any of these could be considered bold. But it’s a fun post to do, nonetheless.

At the All-Star break, I made a few second-half predictions for the Chicago Cubs. In reality, I only hit on a couple of them. But I wasn’t all that far off on the rest. So as I shake off the cobwebs from the New Year I’ll take a stab at a few for the 2017 season. With any predictions, there are so many variables that it often times is nothing more than a stroke of luck.

There are always signs there to lead you to a certain thought or belief that a player or the team is going to do something special. But as I said before, it’s more about reading what’s in the cards more than it is predicting the future. But with a blank slate for the 2017 season and a World Series Championship in our pocket, I’ll give it my best.
