MLB Predictions for 2024

I was 28 positions off in last year's preditions. Best division was the AL West, where I predicted the finish perfectly. Worst were the AL East and the NL Central, with eight positions off in each.

Once again the losers were easier to predict than the winners. I correctly predicted the last place team in five of the six divisions, but the first place team in only three divisions.

There were a number of disappointing teams. Top on the list was the Cardinals, who inexplicably finished last. The high-spending Yankees and Mets were next on the disappointment list, each finishing fourth after I had slated them both for first. The biggest surprise was the Orioles, who won the AL East.

And now on to the new year.

AL East: Yankees, Orioles, Rays, Blue Jays, Red Sox

AL Central: Twins, Tigers, Guardians, White Sox, Royals

AL West: Astros, Mariners, Rangers, Angels, A's

NL East: Braves, Phillies, Mets, Marlins, Nationals

NL Central: Brewers, Reds, Cubs, Cardinals, Pirates

NL West: Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Giants, Padres, Rockies
