MLB 2024: The 1st of each month, my predictions
(Images in Media from Wix.com, Search "Baseball" or "Baseballs")
By: Evan Troxel
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 eight days ago 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!
To see my predictions and the results for the 31st of each month, click on this story on my website.
So here are all of my predictions to win and lose for the 1st day of each month in the 2024 MLB season...for right now.

Thoughts about each game:
Pittsburgh Pirates at Toronto Blue Jays
Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles
I almost picked the Baltimore Orioles to lose today.
Arizona Diamondbacks at New York Mets
I thought about picking the New York Mets to win, but decided against it.
Chicago White Sox at Milwaukee Brewers
I thought about picking the Milwaukee Brewers to win, but decided against it.
Detroit Tigers at Boston Red Sox
I wanted to pick Detroit to win today, but I decided against it.
Minnesota Twins at Houston Astros
I told myself I could not pick Houston to win today as I almost picked them to win yesterday, but I changed my decision yesterday. I will be surprised if Houston wins today as I really think they are going to lose today. And even if Houston does win today, then there is no way the Minnesota Twins are going to win the 2024 World Series (and Houston already isn’t going to win the 2024 World Series anyway).
Oakland Athletics at Atlanta Braves
If Oakland wins today, it will be a giant upset. I really don’t expect them to since California votes Democrat usually in every U.S. presidential election every four years. This year’s U.S. presidential election is the 60th and Oakland is playing their 60th regular season game today.
San Diego Padres at Kansas City Royals
San Diego is not going to win today. Kansas City is playing their 60th regular season game today and they can improve their winning percentage to .600.
Texas Rangers at Miami Marlins
Miami could win today in a huge upset against the defending World Champion Texas Rangers, but I just don’t see that actually happening though as Rangers fans will stop paying attention for the rest of the season if they don’t win both today’s game and tomorrow’s game.
Washington Nationals at Cleveland Guardians
I don’t expect Cleveland to lose today. This might be Cleveland’s year to win the 2024 World Series. I like their chances if they win today and in their 60th regular season game coming up in a few days. I like Washington to win the finale on Sunday (tomorrow).
Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners
I like Seattle to win on Sunday (tomorrow) and lose today. The Los Angeles Angels might get swept in this series, but this is the start of a new month and Los Angeles is on a current three-game losing streak, so they really need to win today (and for sure, tomorrow, if they don’t win today).
Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs
It is a brand new month and the date numerology for today (Saturday) is the same for the games on (Wednesday) because of the month change, so I think the Chicago Cubs are probably going to lose again today. I like the Cubs chances to win on Sunday, so I hope that actually happens based on a prediction standpoint and not what I necessarily want to happen from a fan standpoint.
Chicago can stay on 28 wins on “Saturday” as it is 28 in the reduction cipher of Gematria. “Sunday” is 33 in the reverse reduction cipher of Gematria and the Cincinnati Reds can pick up their 33rd loss on Sunday against the Cubs. Today is also the 15 date numerology so the Cubs can stay on 15 home wins and the Reds can stay on 15 away losses. I was thinking the Cubs were actually going to win today yesterday after the Reds won yesterday, but because of the month and date numerology change, I don’t think that’s actually going to happen! We’ll see!
St. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies
I like St. Louis to win at Philadelphia today. The Phillies can pick up their 24th regular season win at home on the 24 date numerology. Today would have been the nine date numerology if there ever existed a May 32nd, 2024. Philadelphia can pick up their ninth home loss today. Today also just happens to be Philadelphia’s 32nd regular season home game. St. Louis can pick up their 15th away win today and they can also pick up their 28th regular season win as “Saturday” is 28 in the reduction cipher of Gematria.
New York Yankees at San Francisco Giants
I like the New York Yankees to lose today at the San Francisco Giants. It probably won’t happen, but it might. Logan Webb for the Giants can improve to 5-4 and “Baseball” in Gematria is 54 in the ordinal and reverse reduction ciphers of Gematria.
The Giants can also pick up their 18th home win and “Baseball” is 18 in the reduction cipher of Gematria.
This is the last day of the week after President Donald John Trump’s trial on a United States of America calendar where he was found guilty (regardless of what you really think/believe about the verdict), so a loss today might make sense for the Yankees to actually lose today in their 60th regular season game in the year of the 60th U.S. Presidential Election.
“Freemasonry” is 58 in the reduction cipher of Gematria and the Giants lost their 58th regular season game yesterday and today is the Giants 59th regular season game and “Freemasonry” is 59 in the reverse reduction cipher of Gematria, so there’s a good chance certain things have changed since yesterday (like the start of a new month and the start of a new winning streak for the Giants).
Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers
If the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t win today and tomorrow (Sunday), I will be surprised, but not shocked!
I actually like the Colorado Rockies chances to win the 2024 World Series right now! If the Rockies win on Monday, June 17th (the Los Angeles Dodgers 74th regular season game) or if the Rockies definitely win on Wednesday, June 19th (the Rockies 74th regular season game), I really like the Rockies chances to actually win the 2024 World Series!
“Jesus” is 74 in the ordinal (most simple) cipher of Gematria! I’m starting to think the Dodgers will probably win on June 17th and the Rockies will definitely win on June 19th as both games are in Denver, Colorado!
Cal Quantrill #47 is pitching today for the Rockies and the Dodgers are playing their 60th regular season game today in the year of the 60th U.S. Presidential Election. President Donald John Trump could be the 47th different era for a U.S. Presidential Administration.
The Dodgers can pick up their 24th loss on the 24 date numerology today and have a .600 winning percentage in the regular season as a result. Today is the six date numerology and the Rockies can pick up their 36th regular season loss today (as 6 x 6 = 36) or the Dodgers can stay on 36 regular season wins today.
The Dodgers will also be six games above .500 at home if they lose today!
“Sunday” is 21 in the reduction cipher of Gematria, so Colorado can stay on 21 regular season wins with a loss today and tomorrow or they could stay on 21 regular season away losses if they win today and tomorrow!
The Rockies could pick up their 9th regular season win today away on the nine date numerology (if there was such a thing today as May 32nd, 2024)!
“Colorado” is 38 in the reduction cipher of Gematria, so I like the Dodgers to actually and probably win both today and tomorrow and get to 38 regular season wins! The Dodgers could possibly win their 38th away game in Denver on June 20th! The Rockies could still win on Sunday and they might deny the Dodgers their 38th regular season win if the Dodgers win today.
“Denver” is 32 in the reduction cipher of Gematria and today is the Dodger’s 32nd regular season home game and “Denver” is also 31 in the reverse reduction cipher of Gematria and the Dodgers lost last night in their 31st regular season home game (on Friday, May 31st, 2024). The Rockies will be playing their 31st regular season away game on Sunday, June 2nd, 2024!
The Rockies will be playing their 38th regular season home game against the Washington Nationals on June 21st. It will also be the Rockies 76th regular season game on June 21st. That series will be three games, so the Rockies will also play their 77th and 78th regular season games against the Nationals.
My notes before game time on Monday, July 1st, 2024, and predictions to win (Predicted on Monday, July 1st, 2024)
Houston Astros (42-41, 18-22 Away) at Toronto Blue Jays (38-45, 20-21 Home)
Date Numerology: 52 = 5+2 = 7. The Date Numerology is 7 today. It is also 16, 25, 34, 43, 52, 61, 70, 79, 88, 97, 106, 115, 124, 133, 142, 151, 160.
Houston could pick up their 43rd win.
Toronto could lose and be eight games below .500 as tomorrow is the eight date numerology.
Hunter Brown is 5-5 for Houston.
Yariel Rodriguez is 0-2 for Toronto.
Houston won the series in Houston two out of three. This is a best out of seven games series in the regular season. The remaining games are in Toronto starting today.
Houston has a 55.1 percent chance to win while Toronto has a 44.9 percent chance to win.
The latest line says Houston at -145. The over/under is 8.5 runs.
Both teams are playing their 84th regular season game today.
Houston is playing their 41st road game while Toronto is playing their 42nd home game today in the regular season this season.
“Canada Day” is 189 in the reverse cipher of Gematria. 189 is “IN” the 42nd prime number. Houston could stay on 42 wins and also pick up their 42nd loss of the regular season.
“July” is 22 in the reverse reduction cipher of Gematria. Houston could stay on 22 away losses while Toronto could pick up their 22nd home loss!
“July First” is 41 in the reduction cipher of Gematria. Houston could stay on 41 losses. It is 58 in the reverse reduction and Hunter Brown is #58 today for Houston.
“July 1” is 69 in the ordinal (most simple) cipher of Gematria. 69 is “IN” the 19th prime number. Houston can pick up their 19th away win today. It is 41 in the reverse cipher of Gematria. Again, Houston can stay on 41 regular season losses this season. OR Houston could pick up their 23rd away loss as it is 23 in the reverse reduction cipher of Gematria.
“July 1st” is 18 in the reduction cipher of Gematria and Houston can stay on 18 away wins. It is also 38 in reverse reduction cipher of Gematria and Toronto could stay on 38 regular season wins.
Based on yesterday’s Yankees-Blue Jays game. Yankees 8, Blue Jays 1. Eight is “IN” the fourth prime number. One is “IN” the zero prime number.
Toronto can be eight games below .500 today overall in the regular season or they can win and be zero games below .500 at home.
Houston could win and be less than four games below .500 away or they could lose and be zero games below .500 in the regular season overall.
Final note: I looked at a ton of different all-time won-lost records for the Toronto Blue Jays in the regular season and for today’s particular day (Monday) and date (July 1st) and opponent (Houston Astros, a member of the American League and the American League West) and there were 15 reasons Toronto should win and five why they should lose today. I have 7 neutral reasons why either team could win and I had seven additional different reasons why it could go either way (either team could win today) because today’s particular game number for the Toronto Blue Jays all-time for the specific categories I researched is a prime number for today!
