With the playoffs kicking off later today, experts all around the baseball world are entering in their predictions for what should be the wackiest, wildest, light-all-those-predictions-on-fire-anyway postseason.
Still, it’s fun to hold the people we read accountable for their takes, and obviously, it’s most fun to see who is taking the Rays. So I found eight of the biggest sports news outlets and have gathered their collective predictions here. For each outlet, I’ll note how many writer predictions were collected, and then how many of those writers had the Rays: A) losing in the first round, B) winning the pennant, or C) winning the World Series, with names included for the first and last of those groupings, to know how to put on our love and hate lists.
