Best of luck, everyone else.
That’s how Jonah Keri capped off his initial edition of The 30, his MLB power rankings column, which had the Cubs at the tippy top. This is kind of a weird time because we’re all just prognosticating right now, regardless of how much we feel we know about a given team.
Call it personal bias, I just tend to put more trust in the rankings that have the Cubs first right now. Some objective models like PECOTA don’t look at them as the favorites, but I’m talking more about the human rankings.
