2012 MLB Preview: NL West

Posted on April 27, 2012 by

Here’s my final division preview. I think this is an incredibly difficult division to handicap. Each of these teams has considerable strengths, but there isn’t a complete team to be found here, in my opinion. It should make for an … Continue reading →

Posted on April 27, 2012 by

It’s been a few weeks since I picked up my MLB Predictions. (A major school project and moving to a new house has occupied a lot of my time lately.) But I want to pick up here with the AL … Continue reading →

MLB Preview: NL Central

Posted on April 10, 2012 by

I’ll admit that it’s hard to think objectively here. As you all well know, I’m a Cards homer through and through. And while I thought long and hard about picking Cincinnati to win the division, I just can’t seem to … Continue reading →

MLB Preview: AL Central

Posted on April 8, 2012 by

This is by far the easiest division to handicap. Detroit could win this thing by 10 games or more. They’re that good and the rest of these teams are playing catch up. But check back in a few years: once … Continue reading →

Here’s the link to my previous AL East preview. Now for the NL’s power division. It’s possible that this division could produce three playoff entrants, thanks to the new double wild-card addition (which I’m warming up to, by the way). … Continue reading →

So after two weeks, here’s the way we’re shaping up: Sunny: 5-3 (a rough 1-3 mark last week) Jason: 4-4 (mediocre, but I’m only a game back!) We’re running out of games here, so I’d better make my move this … Continue reading →

NFL Playoff Picks, Week 2

Posted on January 14, 2012 by

Okay, so I told you last week that Sunny always wears me out in these picks. Appropriately, she ran the table, winning all four games. I split, so she has a fairly insurmountable lead at this point. Sunny: 4-0 Jason: … Continue reading →
