We previously released our staff predictions for the coming season regarding the complete order of finish in each division, including the Phillies and their NL East rivals. Now we’ll cover the staff predictions for not only each division winner, but also the two Wildcards in each league, and our World Series favorite.
We had eight staff members taking part in the voting process. Eight different teams in each league received playoff consideration on at least one of our ballots. However, except for the NL East, all of the divisional races had clear favorites. It was in the selection of the Wildcards where we saw a few differing opinions.
