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 sixteen 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 8th of each month, click on this story on my website.

Overall won-lost record on March 5th: 8 wins 5 losses 1 tie

Overall won-lost record in the entire Major League Baseball season in 2024: 96 wins 99 losses 13 ties
