I don't know about anyone else, but, for at least the last couple of seasons, I have found the NL much more compelling than the AL.

[Marino]

AL East: Toronto
AL Central: Kansas City
AL West: Houston
AL Wild Cards: Detroit and New York
NL East: Washington
NL Central: Chicago
NL West: Los Angeles
NL Wild Cards: St. Louis and New York

AL Champion: Houston
NL Champion: Los Angeles
World Series Champion: Los Angeles Dodgers


AL MVP: Carlos Correa
NL MVP: Anthony Rizzo
AL Cy Young: Chris Archer
NL Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw

Don't care about the rest.

ALCS gonna be Boston and Kansas City.

Rough idea at the moment since it's a bit too early in Spring Training and a bit too late in the day. The best thing about baseball is that it's incredibly unpredictable. No idea but here's a shot in the dark:

AL East:

New York Yankees (3)
Boston Red Sox
Toronto Blue Jays
Baltimore Orioles
Tampa Bay Rays

AL Central:

Detroit Tigers (1)
Cleveland Indians (WC: 1)
Kansas City Royals
Chicago White Sox
Minnesota Twins

AL West:

Texas Rangers (2)
Houston Astros (WC: 2)
Anaheim Angels
Seattle Mariners
Oakland A's


AL Wild Card Gimmick Nonsense:

Cleveland over Houston

ALDS:

Detroit over Cleveland
Texas over New York

ALCS:

Detroit over Texas

AL MVP: Mike Trout
AL Cy Young: Cole Hamels
AL Manager of the Year: Jeff Bannister

NL East:

New York Mets (2)
Washington Nationals
Florida Marlins
Atlanta Braves
Philadelphia Phillies

NL Central:

Pittsburgh Pirates (1)
St. Louis Cardinals (WC: 1)
Chicago Cubs (WC: 2)
Cincinnati Reds
Milwaukee Brewers

NL West:

San Francisco Giants (3)
Los Angeles Dodgers
Arizona Diamondbacks
San Diego Padres
Colorado Rockies

NL Wild Card Gimmick Nonsense:

St. Louis over Chicago

NLDS:

Pittsburgh over St. Louis
New York over San Francisco

NLCS:

Pittsburgh over New York

NL MVP: Buster Posey
NL Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw
NL Manager of the Year: Bruce Bochy


2016 WORLD SERIES:

Pittsburgh over Detroit in 7

[SPTO]

AL East

Blue Jays

AL Central

Tigers


AL West

Astros


AL Wild Cards

Red Sox, Royals



NL East

Mets

NL Central

Cubs


NL West

Giants


NL WC

Pirates, Cardinals



I'm not too interested in filling out the playoff brackets except to say that the World Series will be between Houston and NYM with the Astros winning in 7.


AL MVP: Carlos Correa
NL MVP: Anthony Rizzo
AL Cy Young: Marcus Stroman (yes, homer pick but i'm super high on this guy)
NL Cy Young: one of the Mets pitchers, take your pick.
