Bryce Harper GOES OFF and wins the NL MVP with something like .290/.380/.520, with over 40 dingers. He'll also catch grief for "not hustling" or something because he stops at second base instead of going for a triple because the double gave him the cycle.
Betts makes the All Star team, and Xander hits 20 HRs.
Someone hits 4 HRs in a game--I'll go with Rizzo. Anthony Rendon goes all Mark Whiten and has something like 12 ribbies in a game.
Dee Gordon hits 3 triples in a game.
Lester pitches well, but goes 15-12.
Wade Miley wins 17+ games for Boston and starts game 1 of the playoffs.
So let's see:
1--I undersold Bryce Harper. He's more like .340/.470/.660. Wow. He did go for 40+ dingers though.
2--Betts did not make the AS team, although there was a chance. Xander didn't bring the power I was hoping for, but still a fantastic season for him.
3--Complete whiff (so far!) on someone hitting 4 bombs and someone getting 12 ribbies in a game.
4--Also a whiff so far on Gordon and 3 triples.
5--Lester has pitched well, but his record doesn't reflect it, which is what I was going for.
6--Missed on Miley and the postseason for Sox.
