MLB 2024: The 16th of each month, my predictions

Every single day for the next month, I plan to post my predictions about which teams will win and lose each and every Major League Baseball game of the 2024 season, whether that is Spring Training, the Regular Season or the Postseason.
If you haven't heard yet, Major League Baseball Spring Training just started twenty-three days ago (if you are reading this on Saturday, March 16th, 2024), on Thursday, February 22nd, 2024!
All of my predictions are subject to change without notice before game time, but I am still very much looking forward to seeing how many games I correctly pick (especially with my first/original predictions to win and lose) over the course of Spring Training, a 2,430 game Major League Baseball regular season and the postseason/playoffs!

All the results of all games are determined by the date they are scheduled to played on! So a makeup game the next day on April 17th will be counted for a game I predicted on April 16th (the date of the originally scheduled game). So I am giving myself zero credit for the Kansas City Royals losing the originally scheduled second game of their three-game series at the Chicago White Sox (which was supposed to be played as the first and only game on April 16th, but ended up being played as the second game of two games that was played on April 17th, the third and final game of the three-game series.) The originally scheduled game on April 16th was played second (or after) the originally scheduled game on April 17th. These results are considered TOTALLY FINAL from this point forward!
