  • AL MVP- Mike Trout. Trout is the best player maybe ever and he is still somehow underrated. Would love to see Trout play in October and maybe a MVP season puts him there.
  • NL MVP- Ronald Acuna. If I had to take a non Atlanta Braves player though, it would be Soto. Those two are going to be fun to watch for a long time.
  • AL Cy Young- Lucas Giolito. Should be a three horse race with Giolito, Cole, and Bieber but I see Giolito having a phenomenal year. Look out for Maeda and Tyler Glasnow as well.
  • NL Cy Young- Jacob deGrom. a lot of good pitchers in the NL but deGrom is the best. Until he slows down I am not ready to take the field vs deGrom yet.
  • AL ROY- Jarred Kelenic– This is hoping Seattle gives him a chance early. I think by this time next year, Atlanta Braves fans will be glad the Mets shipped him off.
  • NL ROY- Ke’Bryan Hayes. My heart says Ian Anderson but just to be different and not take another Braves player, I will go with Hayes. The Pirates have no reason not to play him and he is going to be great.
  • AL East- Yankees
  • AL Central- White Sox
  • AL West- Angels
  • NL East- Atlanta Braves
  • NL Central- Brewers
  • NL West- Dodgers
  • AL Wild Cards- Blue Jays and Twins
  • NL Wild Cards- Padres and Mets
  • World Series- Dodgers over White Sox
  • Disappointing Team- Nationals

  • AL MVP- Mike Trout. Can’t bet against the best player of a generation.
  • NL MVP- Ronald Acuna. I believe he will have the best year of his young career and win the first of many MVP awards
  • AL Cy Young- Gerrit Cole. Easily the best pitcher in the AL.
  • NL Cy Young- Jacob deGrom. deGrom regains his position of the best pitcher in all of baseball.
  • AL ROY- Jarred Kelenic. All depends on if the Mariners make the call soon enough. The talent is there.
  • NL ROY- Ian Anderson. Anderson flashed his impressive stuff in the postseason and should run away with the award.
  • AL East- Yankees
  • AL Central- White Sox
  • AL West- Astros
  • NL East- Atlanta Braves
  • NL Central- Cardinals
  • NL West- Dodgers
  • AL Wild Cards- Blue Jays and Twins
  • NL Wild Cards- Padres and Mets
  • World Series- Atlanta Braves over Yankees
  • Disappointment Teams- Rays and Reds
