My Official Predictions
Projected record- I think the Astros will beat the models and go 92-70
Will the Astros win the AL West- I think the Astros will win the AL West by 4-8 games
Postseason predictions- I still believe the Astros will lose the ALCS
Batting MVP- I bet on Tucker on my trip to Vegas and I am sticking with that. Alvarez will be a beast too.
Pitching MVP- Ryan Pressly will shine as the closer and be needed to close out many close games.
Surprise Player- Blanco will be a budding star in the swing starter/ long relief role. Maybe that isn't a surprise today.
Best Rookie- The easy pick here is of course Hunter Brown but I am going with Hensley who does a great impression of 2017 Marwin this year. Hensley will be better than anyone expects. Take that projection systems.
