It is time for the Sunday Request!
Just in time for the opening of the season, I make my official picks. And remember, my pick for the AL East comes with a gigantic asterisk.
It is the LET’S GET THE SEASON STARTED! episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

So here it is, my annual act of futility. My predictions. These are what I THINK will happen, not what I WANT to happen (which would be a Red Sox/Giants World Series.)
Here are my picks… and remember last year I picked the Rangers to win the AL Pennant and they had the worst record in the American League.
