Brewers Predictions
Record: 77-85
Place In Divisional Standings: 4th
Playoffs (Y/N): No
MVP Hitter: Santana
MVP Pitcher: Jungmann
Most Pleasant Surprise Position: Santana (Hill if I have to pick someone other than my MVP)
Most Pleasant Surprise Pitcher: Thornburg
Biggest Disappointment (Position/Pitcher): Lucroy/Peralta
Are We Sellers or Buyers at the Deadline: Neither (just because their trade assets are almost all young)

MLB Predictions
AL Playoff Teams: Blue Jays, Royals, Astros, (Red Sox, Indians).
NL Playoff Teams: Mets, Cubs, Giants, (Nats, Dodgers).
NLCS: Mets
ALCS: Astros
World Series: Mets
AL MVP: Trout
NL MVP: Goldschmidt
AL Cy Young: Sale
NL Cy Young: Kershaw
AL Rookie of the Year: Buxton
NL Rookie of the Year: Matz

The elite top and the putrid bottom of the NL is a big storyline of the season. As for the Brewers, they will be unexpectedly competent. Journeymen and average talents in their primes are better than washed-up former all-stars. This year will be proof of that. Also, a lot of guys they've had over the years have been clueless on the basepaths and hapless in the field; improvements in those areas will offset some of the lost offense.

69 wins for Crew. Don't care about rest of MLB outside of Cubs not winning WS. Just want the young guys to do well, lose a lot of games, and draft high again in 2017. Oh yeah, and Luc and Will Smith (if he gets healthy) traded.
