Ahhh yes, Opening Day Eve, or as I like to refer to it, “Prediction Day”, is upon us. Tomorrow we will have real baseball to watch, meaningful games to discuss, and every team will take its first step towards October. In the meantime, the LOD staff is here to make our predictions on the 2018 season public for all of you to ridicule and throw back in our faces when we are inevitably wrong about more than 50% of these. Who cares? Predictions are fun… baseball is fun… let’s have some fun!
