Predictions – 1999

Here are my pre-season predictions for the 1999 Major League Baseball Standings. The list contains the teams in predicted order of finish. My method was mostly “educated guess”, so I probably won’t do as well as last year.

Last season, Baseball Prospectus ran a study analyzing the quality of projections made by computer programs and by fans. I am participating in this year’s project and have put my projections online.
