Predicting the Standings & Playoff Teams in 2015

I do this every single season and every single season I start the post out wondering why I even bother. I am terrible at these pre-season predictions and it makes me truly wonder how I got nicknamed the “Yankees Wizard” for my predictions on Twitter. Anyway, I digress. I will once again take a stab at predicting the winners of each division, the playoff teams and the overall standings in Major League Baseball in 2015. I will do so with this warning, do not use my predictions to place bets on Major League Baseball (unless you’re going against my predictions, then I want half your winnings) because you are very likely to lose. With that said let’s get to the predictions:
