Not going to speculate on every division.

ALCS: Yankees vs. Astros
NLCS: Giants vs. Cardinals

WS: Giants over Yankees

AL MVP: Manny Machado
NL MVP: Bryce Harper

AL CY: Chris Sale
NL CY: Clayton Kershaw

(Also like to pencil in these same NL Cy's and MVP's for the next at least five years).

AL ROY: Aaron Judge
NL ROY: Steven Matz

Orioles: 85 wins. 96 wins with everything going perfect two years ago. 81 wins with much going wrong in the rotation last year and a ton of DFAs. Rotation is not improved but could be if some guys are just not as bad as 2015.

So 85 wins. With a chance to improve that with some midseason moves. Wild card team at best. Yankees are going to be tough and the O's can't win enough in Toronto to win the East. Not buying the Sox one bit. Rays without Maddon...nope.

Will the Cubs add another legit starter and legit back end BP arm?  I feel they need that.

 

Right now, they are the favorite for best team in the regular season but I am not sure I can say that when it comes to the playoffs.

[BobPhelan]

I think they have the ability to do so. They have a lot of depth barring significant injury.

Barring injury, Soler will be dealt for something.
