Welcome to the first post here at The 0-2 Pitch! Today, we will be giving our 2013 MLB Season Predictions!
Today we will be making our AL Predictions. We saw a big year last year in the AL and the AL is going to be fully competive again this season and will be very fun to watch so let's get started on our predictions!
AL East:
1.Rays: 96-66
2.Blue Jays: 94-68
3.Yankees: 88-74
4.Orioles: 84-78
5.Red Sox: 76-86
The Blue Jays bullpen is going to be rocky this year but has a chance to be a surprise for the fully loaded offense and starting roationed Blue Jays, but the bullpen will blow too many games for this Blue Jays team which a late season Rays rally will propell them into first place and ultimaly win the division by 2 games. The injury riddled and aging Yankees will finish with their second less than 90 wins season since 2001, while the Orioles will start out hot but a mid-season collapse will ultimalty decide their fate as they fall from playoff contention in the start of September. The Red Sox will finish under .500 for the consecutive season as they are not strong in any catagory, Red Sox's fans should prepare for another long and unsucessful season.
AL Central:
1.Tigers: 98-64
2.White Sox: 87-75
3.Indians: 84-78
4.Royals: 75-87
5.Twins: 61-101
The Tigers are stacked once again this season and also could breathe a little easily now that they signed Justin Verlander to a 7 year extension worth 180 million. The Tigers offense are going to put up record numbers while Verlander has another Cy Young winning season winning 20+ and having a sup 2.80 era. The White Sox are on their way to a playoff birth in the near future but they fall short this season even though Chris Sales puts up Cy Young winning numbers but also falls short to inner-division ace Justin Verlander. The Royals are on the verge of a winning season but their youth will hurt them this year as they fall short of another winning season but catch a glimpse of the future many times through the season. The Twins will finish in last once again, throughout the season they will show signs of a good but their rotation is just to weak even with Vance Worley winning 15 games.
AL West:
1.Angels: 103-59
2.Athletics: 93-67
3.Rangers: 85-77
4.Mariners: 77-85
5. Astros: 49-113
The Angels will see their money pay off as they have a record season while Pujols,Hamilton,and Trout all put up 30 home run seasons and as Mike Trout wins his first of many MVP awards. The Athletics are going to have another strong season and will make the playoffs for the second consecutive season for the first time 2002 and 2003 seasons. The Rangers will have a good season under the circumstances that their team has been dismantled over the last few seasons. The Rangers will trade for Andre Either at the trade deadline trading away Ian Kinsler to make Jurkinson Profar who will win the ROY a full time starter while also trying to make a playoff push which will fail in early september. The Mariners are going to be very good, in a few years. But this is not their year as they will finish under .500 but their offensive numbers will go up as the fences at Safeco have been brought in. The Astros, are the kids who get bullied by all of the MLB this season as they finish with one of the worst records in MLB history and will once again get a first overall pick.
