Many have learned of Baseball Prospectus's 2010 MLB predictions, and what they think of the Chicago Cubs. The site has predicted that the Cubs will finish 77-85, 9 games behind the first-place St. Louis Cardinals, and 4 games behind the second-place Cincinnati Reds. How BP figures the Cubs will finish behind the Reds is beyond me. Even more perplexing is that BP has only 3 teams winning 90+ games, and all 3 teams are in the AL East (Red Sox, Yankees, Rays). Surprisingly, the Oakland A's will win the AL West, the Atlanta Braves will win the NL East(my pick to win the NL East, but still, surprising), the Washington Nationals will finish ahead of the New York Mets in the NL East, and the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies will finish ahead of the San Francisco Giants in the NL West(not surprising, depending on who you talk to). I'm not sure who made these predictions or how they came up with them, but I think it's safe to say that they're possibly a little...off. To see BP's predictions:
