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-seven days ago (if you are reading this on Wednesday, March 20th, 2024), on Thursday, February 22nd, 2024!

The first Major League Baseball game of the regular season will take place at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time (yes, you read that right) between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres in South Korea on Wednesday, March 20th, 2024. That is approximately four hours from right now as I am typing this about to publish this story!

The second regular season game will be the very next day (March 21st) at the exact same start time!

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 19th of each month, click on this story on my website.

Overall won-lost record on March 19th: 4 wins, 5 losses, 4 ties

Overall won-lost record in the entire Major League Baseball season in 2024: 178 wins 177 losses 28 ties

So here are all of my predictions to win and lose for the 20th day of each month in the 2024 MLB season...for right now.
