Midseason Predictions Redux

It’s much easier to predict the finish of teams when half the season is in the books, but that’s no reason to avoid doing it. I was so tempted by the Rangers-infused All-Star week to predict a miracle finish, but the reality of it is as strong as their hitting is, and as likely as Josh Hamilton is to flirt with a Triple Crown, their pitching rotation remains awful. I also think there are enough holes in the Red Sox roster to justify them getting beat.
