World Series
The Phillies over the Twins. The Phils are loaded with power and hungry enough to win.
MVP
NL: I think they’ve already engraved Albert Pujols’ name on the trophy.
AL: Joe Mauer. Again…
Cy Young
NL: That guy for the Giants that looks like Alanis Morissette.
AL: The Red Sox’s Josh Beckett will be tough to beat.
2010’s A-Rod Scandal

World Series
The Dodgers over the Blue Jays. Finally, some WS play in Mannywood.

Cy Young
NL: Tim Lincecum threepeats.

World Series
The Minnesota Twins over the New York Mets. Just kidding. Every team that is not the Mets will win the NL pennant.
MVP
NL: Albert Pujols. He’s very good, and now Mark McGwire can make runs to the Mexican pharmacist for him. I predict 82 home runs and at least one charge of aggravated battery.
AL: Joe Mauer. Imagine being an awesome, handsome, and single baseball player and living in Minnesota. It’s like a four-star chef cooking in a Denny’s.
Cy Young
NL: Roy Halladay.
AL: CC Sabathia. He will be annoyed when he finds out the trophy is not made of rotisserie chicken.
2010’s Most Surprising Success Story

World Series
The Yankees over the Phillies, again. Picking against the Yankees is for the clinically insane.
MVP
NL: Albert Pujols of the Cards wins his third in a row.
AL: Mark Teixeira of the Yankees needed just one year to get used to New York.
Cy Young
NL: Roy Halladay, Philadelphia. He could have a Koufax type of season in the offensively challenged NL.
AL: Jon Lester, Boston…as long as he can avoid giving up the long ball.
2010’s Biggest Story
Brad Penny, St. Louis. The portly pitcher will emerge as a Cy Young candidate, and his next celebrity girlfriend—he’s dated Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku—will be Angelina Jolie.
