Two Eighty Eight 2022 Baseball Predictions


Hey, look who remembered the password!

Welcome back to the Two Eighty Eight blog and welcome to our 2022 MLB predictions. My apologies for not posting in over (checks notes) 3 years. Talking into a mic with my friends or family is easy, but writing a column all by myself is nerve-racking. I set impossible standards when it comes to blogging and since I feel like I can't reach them, I don't even try.

But enough about my crippling imposter syndrone! Anthony, Daniel, and I have made our picks for MVP, Cy Young, Division/Wild Card winners and World Series champions down below. 6 months from now, we're going to have a 3-man pod to discuss how genuis/idiotic our picks are, but until then, ENJOY!
