"Explanation: The New York Yankees should win the American League pretty swiftly, as the Astros and Twins–their biggest threats–do not have Gerrit Cole at the top of their rotations and they just don’t have the depth that New York has. I gave the Twins a win vs Houston in the ALDS because their lineup is going to hit home runs and do damage so they should be able to out-hit the Astros at least once. That’s a series that would be a lot closer than the numbers would tell you. While many people are going to get frustrated with me when they don’t see the Cubs or the Braves in the postseason while the Padres, Mets, and the Reds are, but like I said earlier San Diego, Cincinnati, and New York are the real deal. The Padres will likely be adding the top pitching propsect in the game, MacKenzie Gore, at some point in the season in addition to having a stacked lineup (Tatis, Machado, Hosmer, Grisham, Profar, Myers) that’s welcoming one of the best contact hitters in all of baseball in Tommy Pham. Not to mention, they have the best bullpen in the National League. We know that the Mets have Jacob deGrom for a one game playoff and Yoenis Cespedes is returning to a deep lineup featuring Michael Conforto, Jeff McNeil, and Pete Alonso while the Reds totally went all in this winter by signing Moustakas and Castellanos to play behind the best rotation in the NL Central. Look, no one knows what is going to happen in this 60 game season because it has never happened before so don’t expect many experts to be right with their 2020 predictions."
