Well it’s been quite a year, folks. We don’t know about you, but 2020 and early 2021 have sorely tested our ability to predict what’s going to happen next, and we’ve been humbled in the process. Usually, we just have our bad baseball predictions to humble us.
2020 wasn’t our worst year in terms of our baseball predictions, however. Sure there were plenty of misses as always—some goof even picked the Cincinnati Reds to win the NL pennant—but six of eleven staff members surveyed picked the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series. By historical standards that may be our best work.
