This is probably the sleep deprivation talking, but I think I could put up a better winning percentage in picking Major League Baseball games than the best team in the worst division in the Big Leagues will put up after its 162-game season.
So I’m throwing it down right now, when I’m good and tired. I already lost to a video game in college football picks, leading to a self-imposed ban on picking college football games. Why not open myself up to a beating from the cream of the NL Central crop as well?
If I don’t “win” a higher percentage of predicted baseball games than the first place team in the National League Central — and I’ll be picking them all — then I’ll cease providing any analysis whatsoever on Major League Baseball. Hey, at least it’ll keep me posting some content most every day for the next several months.
Anyway, here’s my first pick:
March 25, 2008: Boston Red Sox over Oakland Athletics
If I’m still awake and capable of manipulating a keyboard, I’ll consider throwing up a post at the end of the Japan opener.
