Early predictions for the MLB playoffs
THE MORNING BREW
Believe it or not, we're already a month into the 2012 Major League Baseball season.
Because it's only been one month, making predictions on pennant winners and playoff results based on team record and player performances is absurd, although we could ascertain which teams could contend or slide and which players could dominate or struggle as the season progresses. Here are two of my bold predictions:
WASHINGTON NATIONALS IN THE PLAYOFFS
Experience isn't on the Washington Nationals' side, but their youth movement this season will be the beginning of grander times for this historically irrelevant franchise.
The biggest reason why the Washington Nationals currently sit in first place in the National League East is because of their remarkable pitching. Amongst all major league teams, the Nationals are first in earned run average, quality starts, strike outs, earned runs allowed and opponents' batting average. Washington is also second in saves.
Yes, highly touted pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg has much to do with the Nationals' pitching success, but not all of it. The rest of the starting pitching staff - Edwin Jackson, Gio Gonzalez, Ross Detwiler and Jordan Zimmerman - is a combined 9-3. Complementing the stellar starting pitching is the outstanding bullpen, which has been led by Tyler Clippard and Henry Rodriguez.
The offense will eventually come around once Ryan Zimmerman returns from the disabled list and Bryce Harper gets more at bats in the majors.
The Nationals will either clinch the
National League East title or earn a wild card berth. They'll most clinch a wild card spot because the National League East is the most challenging division in the league. The Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies were all considered playoff favorites before the start of the season, and they've yet to find their stride.
NO PLAYOFFS FOR LOS ANGELES ANGELS
They're stacked with talent. If your team consists of Jared Weaver, Ervin Santana, C.J. Wilson, Dan Haren, Albert Puiols, Mike Trout, Torii Hunter, Mark Trumbo and Kendry Morales, then your team should qualify for the playoffs, but the Angels won't play in the postseason.
Nobody has been a bigger disappointment this season than Albert Pujols, who signed a lucrative 10-year, $240 million deal with the Angels during the offseason. He, along with C.J. Wilson, who was also signed during the offseason, would help the Angels replace the Texas Rangers as the top team in the American League West.
The Rangers are a powerhouse, and the Angels simply aren't.
Offensively, the Angels rank in the bot
tom half of the majors in runs, batting average, home runs, hits and on-base plus slugging. The Rangers rank astonishingly in the top two in all of those categories.
If the Angels cannot clinch the American League West, then they certainly can clinch one of the two wild card spots. right?
As the season continues, I expect the Angels to improve their pitching and offense, but I also expect the Rangers to keep pitching and batting well the rest of the season, which is a scary thought.
Well, they could, but based on how the season has played out thus far, American League East teams could earn both wild card bids. Every team in the American League East has a winning percentage that's .500 or greater so far, and it's proving to be the toughest division.
