Yankees end long drought, win first title of the Third Millennium

2009 MLB Playoff Predictions

Before I get to my fearless MLB post-season prediction, let’s look back at my regular season predictions, “project debrief” style:

2008 MLB Division Series Predictions

In my “… Second Half MLB Predictions…“, I nailed four division winners (Phillies, Cubs, Rays and Angels) and one of the wildcards (Brewers, thanks Mets!).
