Here are 5, not necessarily bold

1. Aaron Judge receives a healthy diet of breaking balls enroute to eclipsing Mark Reynolds strikeout record of 229

2. NL Division Winners: Brewers, Nationals, Dodgers; Wild Card: Cubs over Rockies

3. AL Division Winners: Astros, Indians, Yankees; Wild Card: Angels over Red Sox

4. Manny Machado departs for New York

5. Altuve repeats as MVP

Altuve leads the MLB in average, HRs, and RBIs winning his second MVP in a row unanimously, leading the Stros to the second WS title in a row.

Gerrit Cole comes in top 5 for AL cy young

Jake Arrieta goes to the brewers and wins NL cy young

Is this a bold prediction?

Cole has a losing record and a 4+ ERA

After his past two years is say so. Plus I’m making the statement that he’s a top 5 season in the entire league when it’s arguable that based purely on results he wouldn’t even have had the fifth best season on the Astros last year. I just think with the Astros analysts he will make some significant adjustments to pull out his 2015 talent.

There is a prop bet on 5Dimes of Judge and Stanton over/under combined strikeouts if they both play a minimum number of games. I have a feeling Judge will improve a little

What is it?

I'd put it at say 375.5?

I'll check it.

It's 335.5 at -115 for under and over. However, it says both players must play in one of the first six regular season games for action. So you aren't really protected from injuries during the season if you take the over.

Don't really see how that is very bold....


I'll say Diamondbacks win the NL.

Marlins don't lose 100 games.

Also Tommy Pham finishes in the top 5 of the NL MVP race, but the Cardinals miss the playoffs for the 3rd straight year.
