2013 MLB Season Predictions: Projecting the division and award winners
By Matt Shetler
American League Wild Cards
Matt Shetler: Texas and Toronto- Two loaded teams that play in tough divisions. Both have the offense and pitching necessary to put together very good years.
Matt Gajtka: Los Angeles and Tampa- With the Astros in the West, the Angels will get fat on a few extra wins and slide into the first wild card spot. Their opponent in the take-all game will be Tampa, just because the Rays have made a habit of getting wins in unexpected places. Losing James Shields hurts, but I’m not about to bet against their management team.
Drew Shetler: Tampa and Kansas City- Two good young teams that are talented enough to stay in the race all year.
Zac Weiss: Texas and Chicago
