Here are some Major League Baseball predictions for the 2011 season...
In the American League I have the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, and Oakland Athletics winning their respective divisions with the New York Yankees winning the Wild Card. The Red Sox and Tigers will face each other in the American League Championship Series with the Red Sox moving on to the World Series
In the National League I think the Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies will win their divisions with the San Francisco Giants winning the Wild Card. The Phillies will play the Rockies in the National League Championship Series with the Phillies moving on to the World Series.
In the World Series, pitching and defense will dominate with many low scoring games. The team who's starters go the deepest into games will win and I think that team will be the Philadelphia Phillies who will again win the World Series for the second time in four years.
As far as the awards go, Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers and Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals will have monster years and win the MVP races in each league. Justin Verlander of the Tigers will edge out Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners for the A.L. Cy Young Award. The N.L. Cy Young award will go to the San Francisco Giants' Matt Cain.
It should be another great baseball season in 2011. It starts today with the Tigers and Yankees at 1pm on ESPN and Fox Sports Detroit. Can't wait!
