Samuel Peebles

  • AL MVP- Mike Trout. Until he proves me wrong, I will never not pick him. Did you know he averages 9.79 WAR per 162 games played? Soto averages 5.69.
  • NL MVP- Juan Soto. Mookie and Acuna will probably have better seasons from a body of work, but, voters love offense, and tend to overlook baserunning and lack of defense.
  • AL Cy Young- Kenta Maeda.  Making a bold prediction here. His peripherals are fantastic and he is bound to look great at some point.
  • NL Cy Young- Jacob deGrom. Very similar to Trout, how can you bet against this guy?
  • AL Roy- Nick Madrigal. He has elite contact skills and a microscopic swinging strike rate of 3.3. He could be a better version of Markakis.
  • NL ROY- Ian Anderson. He obviously has the stuff and the composure as well as he demonstrated in the playoffs.
  • AL East- Yankees
  • AL Central- White Sox
  • AL West- Astros
  • NL East- Atlanta Braves
  • NL Central- Cardinals
  • NL West- Dodgers
  • AL Wild Cards- Athletics and Indians
  • NL Wild Cards- Mets and Padres
  • Disappointments- Marlins and Rays
