We have come to the halfway point of Major League Baseball's regular season, so it's time to see how my predictions have panned out so far.
At the beginning of the year, I predicted that the New York Yankees would win the World Series. Although they trail the Red Sox by 4 ½ games for the American League East lead coming out of the All-Star break, they still hold a 62-33 record, third best in baseball and are five games ahead of the Seattle Mariners for the first Wild Card spot.
The next closest team is the Oakland Athletics at eight games back, and it's a very crowded cellar beyond that.
