The MLB Offseason is officially over, and today is OPENING DAY! The game's landscape has changed, with marquee players going to crosstown rivals, the rich getting richer, and youth being the next step for upcoming franchises. Ultimately, the big question on the 2025 season is, will the Dodgers repeat, or will they be fought off by a formidable team on the come-up? And who will come out of the AL? Here are thejosechannel's predictions for the regular season, postseason, and award winners:

THE EVIL EMPIRE IS BACK! The New York Yankees have booked their ticket to the franchise's 41st World Series appearance. After defeating the Cleveland Guardians, 4-1 in the ALCS, thanks to the Juan Soto go-ahead homerun. The Yankees will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

Was there ever a doubt? The Yankees take a 2-0 lead on the Guardians in the ALCS. Dominant wins by the Yankees in the Bronx. Lefty pitcher Carlos Rodon got his groove back and held it down with 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, and 9 Ks in game one to lead the Yanks to a 5-2 victory.

After an intense series win against the Kansas City Royals in the ALDS, the Yankees will make their 19th ALCS appearance, which is the most since the championship series was introduced in 1969. The last time the Yankees found themselves here was back in 2022...
