MLB Preview

With all the March Madness blogs (and Andrew’s vacation), we never had a chance to post our baseball predictions. We know the season has begun, but since the season is so long it didn’t effect our decisions.

Below are our predictions for Major League Baseball. We included the predicted standings from both Andrew and Greg, as well as a playoff preview. Be sure to check out what we thought, and as always, feel free to comment if you agree or disagree. Play Ball!
