MLB is back after an exciting offseason. Now, it’s time to project this season’s award winners.

One of the most exciting times of the year is here. Baseball is back, and speculation over the postseason picture and award races will pick up as we get deeper into the season. From now until November, the game is available at our fingertips at all times. It’s the time of year when we writers take on the task of predicting the game of baseball, which is a daunting task, to say the least. Here, I’ll do my best to pick out who will win each of MLB’s major awards this season.

Will Mike Trout remain supreme in the AL, or will a newcomer take his crown? Will the Cubs dominate the NL MVP race once again, or will familiar faces such as Harper or Kershaw win their second MVP? Who will emerge as the top rookies in the league? The possibilities are endless.

The season is young, and hope is all around. Today, every team and every player is in the running. You may not agree with the following predictions, and I am absolutely okay with that. You’ll see some selections that are obvious, and others that may not be. There is no formula for picking award winners, only a little intuition and luck.  Without further ado, here are your 2017 MLB awards predictions.
