Preseason predictions, even well-thought-out ones, are always good for entertainment after the season. Here are Voros McCracken’s, with the Mets first, the Angels last, the Twins under .500 and the Astros winning the World Series. Just a reminder that predicting players is an inexact science, picking teams is closer to a crapshoot, and baseball can still be an unpredictable game. I relied heavily on McCracken’s Defense Independent Pitching Stats calculations from 2001 to pick my rotisserie baseball starting rotation this year, and wound up with Mike Mussina, John Burkett, Steve Sparks, Doug Davis, and Jeff Weaver. Not that I’m bitter.
