What did the experts predict?





Baseball Digest made the predictions shown above before the 1976 season. It's fun to go back and see how close the "experts" come to what actually happens in a season. Here is what Street and Smith's Baseball had to say:
NL West: Reds, Dodgers, Giants, Braves, Padres, Astros
NL East: Phillies, Pirates, Cardinals, Mets, Cubs, Expos
AL West: Royals, A's, White Sox, Twins, Angels, Rangers
AL East: Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles, Indians, Tigers, Brewers
We'll see how close this 1976 replay comes to both the predictions and real life.
