2014 Baseball season nearing an end

Playoffs on the horizon

With the 2014 Major League Baseball season winding down, it is time to take a look back at the season that was.

At the start of the season in my Season Preview I had the Rays, A's, Tigers, Blue Jays and the Royals advancing from the American League. As for the National League, I tipped the Nationals, Cardinals, Dodgers, Reds and Giants to keep playing.

With the regular season coming to a close in the next few days, lets take a look to see where they all stand down at the moment.

American League

East

Firstly, the Orioles have surprised me for sure. The Red Sox turned out to be even worse than I predicted while I was pretty much spot on with the Yankees. Sadly my picks....Tampa Bay and Toronto have both fallen by the wayside.

Central

I came up ok in my Central Division predictions with the Tigers in the playoffs and the Royals in the box seat for a wildcard spot.

West

Well in the West Division with the Rangers going back to being strangers and trailing the Astros by five games to keep out of the cellar. At least the A's are looking like being in the Wild Card game, overall I didn't fare too well in this division.

National League

East

The Nationals are just tuning up for the playoffs....nothing else to see here!

Central

The Pirates surprised me with their return to the post season while the Reds let me down a bit and are missing out. The Cards have also clinched and are hoping to stave off the Pirates for the division title.

West

Fairly easily predicted division with the Dodgers being the Dodgers, just waiting for the Giants to clinch the final post season wild card slot.

That will do it for now...back after the playoffs are set with my picks.....enjoy the last few days!!
