FEBRUARY 14, 2013 | FLORIDA & ARIZONA – It being mid February, 2013, spring training was starting all over Florida and Arizona, so too were the predictions. Below are BleacherReport.com‘s predictions for the 2013 regular season. How accurate were they? Not very:
BleacherReport.com 2013 Predictions
American League
MVP: PREDICTION: Albert Pujols ACTUAL: Miguel Cabrera
Cy Young: PREDICTION: Chris Sale ACTUAL: Max Scherzer
ROY: PREDICTION: Dylan Bundy ACTUAL: Will Myers
National League
MVP: PREDICTION: Bryce Harper ACTUAL: Andrew McCutchen
Cy Young: PREDICTION: Cliff Lee ACTUAL: Clayton Kershaw
ROY: PREDICTION: Kolten Wong ACTUAL: Jose Fernandez
Not a single prediction was right. Individual award predictions are probably more difficult than team predictions because you never know how an individual will react. But it’s fun watching.
