Here is a quick look at my predictions for the 2018 season
and the overall standings for all 30 teams!
As we count down the days until Opening Day 2018 I wanted to
take the opportunity to say this, it is Prediction Season here on The Greedy
Pinstripes. Every season I make a series of predictions, sometimes bold and
sometimes not so much, before the season, and then I look back on them at
season’s end to see how in tune I really was with my wizardry. Spoiler alert, I
usually don’t do well in these predictions, but I put them and myself out there
nonetheless for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy, and leave any constructive
criticism in the comments below, or hit us on Twitter by tagging

Yes, I went bold in the American League West. I don’t have a
real and true reason why I feel like the Seattle Mariners will have a great
season, but I just do. They have a younger team with a few key guys in key
positions that are hungry, and I just have a hunch. This will be one I will
likely regret when we look back at the end of the 2018 season, but oh well. For
now, the Seattle Robinson Cano’s are in as the 2nd Wild Card team in the
American League while the Texas Rangers are selling off pieces in July. Another
bold prediction in the National League East as I have the young Fightin’ Phils
in second place behind the big right-arm of Jake Arrieta. It isn’t so much that
I feel like the Phillies are ready to compete, although they have a young core
and nucleus that could easily sneak up on people this summer, but I feel like
the NL East is just going to be that bad this season. I truly wanted to put the
Atlanta Braves a little higher, but with Philadelphia (and the rest of the NL
East) facing off with the Braves and Marlins around 40 times a season each we
should see some inflated win numbers out of that division in my opinion. I
truly think the most competitive division in all of Major League Baseball this
season will be the National League West who will have four potential teams that
could make the postseason, with the exception being the San Diego Padres. I
like all their teams, and I think it could be fun to watch all summer long out
West this season.
