Predictions to win: I plan to post my predictions sometime between March 22nd and April 21st, 2024, when I have a much better idea about which teams will be in the MLB Postseason or MLB Playoffs in October 2024.
Prediction to win the 2024 Major League Baseball World Series: Cleveland Guardians defeat the Chicago Cubs four games to three!
Alternative World Series prediction #1: The New York Yankees defeat the New York Mets in five, six or seven games!
Alternative World Series prediction #2: The New York Mets or the Milwaukee Brewers defeat the New York Yankees four games to two! Right now, I like the New York Mets to make it A LOT MORE than the Milwaukee Brewers!
Alternative World Series prediction #3: The Philadelphia Phillies defeat the American League champions in five or six games. The American League champions in 2024 most likely will be the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays or Houston Astros.
