2021 MLB Predictions: Judge, Andujar & Kluber

I know I'm late this year but we're basically starting a new season today with the Yankees at an even 14-14... right? But seriously, I'm chalking up the Yankees' sluggish start to their strength of schedule – almost half of their games were against the Rays and Blue Jays, who I think will battle it out down to the wire for the final AL postseason spot.

AL East – no changes from last year's picks
1. Yankees
2. Blue Jays*
3. Rays

4. Red Sox
5. Orioles

AL Central

2. Twins*
3. Indians
4. Royals
5. Tigers

AL West 
1. Astros
2. 
Angels
3. Athletics
4. Mariners
5. Rangers 

NL East 

1. Braves
2. Mets*
3. Phillies
4. Marlins
5. Nationals

NL Central

2. Cardinals
3. Reds

AL RoY: Akil Baddoo
NL RoY: MacKenzie Gore

Yankee Stats 
Aaron Judge home runs: 42
Giancarlo Stanton home runs: 50
Luke Voit home runs: 30
Gio Urshela batting average: .292
Miguel Andujar games played: 65 – It looks even less likely that Andujar will impact the team this year, but with the offense struggling like it is perhaps he's on the fast track to get another (perhaps final) shot
D.J. LeMahieu hits: 200
Gerrit Cole ERA: 2.33
Gerrit Cole strikeouts: 225
Gerrit Cole wins: 20
Jordan Montgomery wins: 15
Corey Kluber ERA: 3.47
