My 2016 MLB predictions and who wins the World Series

Carlos Correa and the Astros are World Series favorites.

I predicted last year the Orioles would beat the Nationals in the World Series. I was really wrong there. But a new season is upon us and it’s time for me to give you another set of predictions that could also turn out to be very wrong. Or maybe for the first time, I might get things right.

I think that the Cubs have done so much this offseason that they should have no reason to not get to the World Series. Of course, these are the Cubs so maybe they’ll find a way to mess it up. The Astros have built this team into a serious contender after years of ugliness. I feel that they are the cream of the crop in the AL. The Royals are good enough to repeat but they will just fall short this year.
