My Predictions for the 2015 MLB Season

Here are my only predictions for the 2015 MLB Season and why

1. The Seattle Mariners will win the A.L. West

The Mariners signed Nelson Cruz to be their primary DH & to hit fourth behind stud 2nd baseman Robinson Cano. Seattle also has budding superstars in third baseman Kyle Seager, catcher Mike Zunino & pitcher Taijuan Walker. Oh and they also have the best pitcher in baseball NOT NAMED Kershaw (Felix Hernandez)?

2. The San Diego Padtes will be the most exciting team in the N.L. West

The San Diego Padres' new GM, A.J. Preller, made headlines with his acquistitions/thefts of Matt Kemp (from the Dodgers), Wil Myers (from the Rays) & Justin Upton (from the Braves). But they also have the starting pitching to contend. Guys like Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross & Odrisamer Despaigne will have to continue to dominate. They may overtake the Dodgers & Giants if they play their cards right. Now only if they would fire Bud Black and hire Jason Varitek...
