The main takeaway from this is probably that there are going to be some amazing pennant races in our lifetimes, knock on wood. The other takeaway is that I must be an amazing prognosticator if I'm good enough to put these out now.

Remember, gambling is a destructive habit that can quickly get out of control, so only use these predictions if you really, really need to win a lot of money to make everything right again.

Note: All predictions are made by carefully considering each club's fundamentals, including market size, farm system strength, current roster age, front office talent, and other variables deemed useful by me and weighted according to relevance over applicable time period.
