2013 MLB Season Predictions

The first month is over in the 2013 season but I don't think it's too late to make predictions for the upcoming season.

American League East Winner: The Boston Red Sox

AL Central Winner: The Detroit Tigers

AL West Winner: The Texas Rangers

Wild Card 1: The Oakland Athletics

Wild Card 2: The Baltimore Orioles

AL Champ: Tigers

        The AL East is very much up for grabs this season, with all five teams having both glaring flaws and the potential to win the division, So far, I think the Red Sox are the most driven and complete of the five teams. I still see the Orioles grabbing another Wild Card spot. The Tigers are once again the best team in this league. They should win another AL Pennant.

NL East Winner: Washington Nationals

NL Central Winner: Cincinnati Reds

NL West Winner: San Francisco Giants

Wild Car d 1: Atlanta Braves or Washington Nationals

Wild Card 2: L.A. Dodgers

NL Champ: Nationals

         The Nationals are the best team in this league, but the Braves are a close #2. I think the Braves will barely lose the NL East but  easily win the Wild Card Game. I think The Nationals will also be the NL representative in the World Series. The Reds and Giants are just as good as they were last year, but I don't see The Giants repeating their World Series win. Finally, I think The Tigers will beat The Nationals in The World Series.
