SEASON 23 PREDICTIONS

THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS WINS IT ALL

The Blue Jays over the San Diego Padres 4-3

Miami, FLA (McC) – In a rematch of season 22 fall classic, we here at McCabe Magazine select the Toronto Blue Jays as the World Series Champion for season 23. In this classic rematch, we feel the power hitting Jays will dominate the best pitching staff in baseball the last 10 years. Toronto’s first title in team history will deny San Diego’s back to back championship bid, and its fifth (5) world series title overall.

The Teams and Players

    

The Blue Jays are stack with power, beginning with former American League MVP Alexei DaSilva (2B), Julio Castro (1B), Wily Correa (RF), and Charlie Morris (LF). This group of sluggers will rule the AL North division and muscle its way to its second American League pennant. The key players for the Padres are all on the pitching staff, starting with Wandy Duran (SP), Chris Breen (SP), Eddie Barber (Setup), and Pedro Manuel (CIA). Most baseball folks we spoke to feel the Padres traded away their best chance to win its fifth World Series title during the off season when they traded away starting pitchers Asdrubal Pelaez (Twins) and Moose Martin (Cubs). Also getting away via Free Agency was 19 game winner Lariel Tarasco (Indians). 

The Pennant Battle

    

Don’t be surprise to see both Toronto and San Diego win 100 plus games this season. In the AL we pick the Blue Jays to knock off the Los Angeles Dodgers for the pennant. In the NL the battle for the pennant will come down to Chicago Cubs and the Padres. I took my car to a title loan company and received $2500 cash for my car. I then put down $1000 on both Toronto and San Diego to reach the McCabe league championship, so book it!

Playoff Participants 

In the American League the division winners will the Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, and the Anaheim Angels. The National League division winners will be, Padres, Cubs, New York Mets, and the Atlanta Braves. The wildcard winners will be the New York Yankees, Dodgers, Detroit Tigers, and the Colorado Rockies.
