Major League Predictions
The MLB predictions show the Royals back on top, predicted to win the AL Central by 20 games with the best record in baseball, and one of two 100-win teams in the American League.
It is predicted to be a season built on the team rather than individuals with no Royals in the top four hitters or pitchers, although Gilberto Matos does make an appearance for his new ballclub, the Red Sox, who are predicted to take the last WC slot.
The 90-win Nationals are predicted to be the best team in the National League, although Stewart would expect at least one team to come through and exceed those expectations!
