We’ll start with the American League

AL West

Angels 85-77

Astros 83-79

Mariners 81-81

Rangers 81-81

Athletics 81-81

This division came right down to the wire and was actually pretty fun to watch simulate.  In September, all these teams were within two games of each other.  I’m a little surprised the Angels pulled away in the final week of the season, but they do have a decent lineup…and Mike Trout.

In my predictions, I think the Astros and Mariners will be battling late this year for the division — this these aren’t my predictions.

Most are picking the A’s to finish in last place in 2017 so looks like MLB The Show is on the right track there.

AL Central

Indians 92-70

Royals 87-75

Tigers 82-80

White Sox 75-87

Twins 66-96

Terry Francona and his Cleveland boys are going to be strong once again this year.  The Royals and Tigers should be there throughout the year, but it’s the Indians division to lose.

I’m shocked they have the White Sox winning 75 games.  I’m not sure if the White Sox plus all their affiliate teams will win 75 games in 2017.

Twins…wow.  Ever since that late playoff push two years ago, they’ve fallen way off.  Sucks, but someone has to finish last.

AL East

Yankees 99-63

Red Sox 82-80

Orioles 73-89

Blue Jays 72-90

Rays 69-93

Holy smokes…MLB The Show has the Yankees winning almost 100 games in 2017!  It’s strange to look at the Yankees roster, but don’t let that get in the way.  This team can be special.  I think they’ll be competing with the Red Sox late this year.

Yeah, I’m surprised they have the Sox winning so few games.  Must have ran into some injuries in the season, because this team should be loaded.

O’s, Blue Jays and Rays all have pretty similar records here, but in real life 2017 I think all of they’re winning ratios will be higher.
