The 2022 Major League Baseball season is just a day away. Opening Day is a week later than originally scheduled, but thankfully for baseball games, we’ll still have a full, 162-game season in 2022. Opening Day on the horizon means one thing: it’s time for predictions.
Our Eye on Baseball team will lay out our predictions for order of finish by division here along with playoff picks and, of course, the World Series.
We’ll find plenty of staff-wide agreements on non-contenders (sorry, Orioles and A’s fans) and contenders (hello, Dodgers and Astros) alike. We seem to like the AL East (non-Orioles types) and AL Central to be plenty competitive. A good twist heading into this season is the extra wild card team per league, enabling some divisions to place three — or even four! — teams in the postseason.

So we’re high on the Dodgers and the Blue Jays, and there’s no love for the defending champion Braves to repeat. MLB has not had a repeat champion since the 1998-2000 Yankees, remember.
