The 2021 Baseball season is set to start on 1st April and unlike last season we are set for a full schedule. A few teams have made some moves and it is possible that we will see some fresh faces in the postseason. The AL East sent Tampa to the Final last year and they will hope to at least get back into the playoffs, however, the division (with the exception of the Orioles) looks strong this time. We have the Red Sox just missing out, however, it should be close between them and the Yankees for that last chance place.<\/p>\n

Over in the National League, the LA Dodgers should be back into the postseason however the remaining divisions look quite open. The only thing we are confident about here apart from the Dodgers is that Neither Pittsburgh nor Arizona will be playing in October.<\/p>\n

Anyway here is our predicted divisional winners and the four Wild card teams.<\/p>\n

American League<\/h2>\n

East – Winners Tampa Bay Rays<\/p>\n

West – Winners Oakland Athletics<\/p>\n

Central – Winners Chicago White Sox<\/p>\n
