2014 MLB Season Predictions

Even though it feels like I'm distant from baseball, the start of a new season is always a good sign. It means, for at least 6 days, that I can be optimistic about the New York Mets, and it means that it's time to dust off the glove and bat and go play outside (except if you're me, which means it's time to head to the medicine cabinet because allergy season is starting). Without further useless jokes, here are my sure-to-be-wrong 2014 MLB Season predictions.

Apologies to everyone here, although I should remind you I correctly predicted the World Series in 2012 preseason. It's something.
