NL North
Teams: Milwaukee Brewers, Hartford Hartford Horny Yard, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets
Winner: Cincinnati Reds
Confidence: ★★★☆☆
Cincinnati has the best blend of upside and roster shape. Milwaukee is the “safest” rival, and the Mets can spoil weeks at a time—but the Reds have the highest division-winning ceiling.
NL East
Teams: Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies, Cuba Sugarland
Winner: Boston Red Sox
Confidence: ★★★☆☆
Boston feels like the steadiest team in the group. The Cubs are the most likely to make it a grind, but the Sox’ depth profile looks better for 162.
NL South
Teams: Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals, Mexico City Diablos Rojos, Nashville Honky Tonks
Winner: St. Louis Cardinals
Confidence: ★★★★☆
St. Louis is built to bank wins. Mexico City has the volatility to get hot and chase, but the Cardinals’ stability gives them the strongest “wire-to-wire” division case.
NL West
Teams: Colorado Commies, Seattle Mariners, Helena Hand-Baskets, San Diego Chargers
Winner: Seattle Mariners
Confidence: ★★★☆☆
Seattle’s construction plays well over time—less flash, more reliability. Colorado is the scariest ceiling team, but Seattle’s floor is the best bet to take the division.
AL East
Teams: New York Bombers, Trenton Bellevillains, Pittsburgh Boozehounds, Chicago Blizzard
Winner: New York Bombers
Confidence: ★★★★☆
Depth + experience still matter. Chicago makes it uncomfortable, Trenton hangs around, but the Bombers still feel like the most complete 162-game machine.
AL North
Teams: Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, Dover Dung Beetles, Pawtucket Oysters
Winner: Toronto Blue Jays
Confidence: ★★★★☆
Toronto looks like the cleanest roster build in the division. Detroit and Dover can absolutely punch back, but the Jays’ top-end talent and lineup length give them the clearest path.
AL South
Teams: Louisville Bills, Atlanta Braves, Charlotte Knights, Montgomery Biscuits
Winner: Louisville Bills
Confidence: ★★★★☆
Four straight pennants isn’t an accident. Atlanta is the loudest challenger, but Louisville has the championship-grade habits and depth that tend to win divisions (and Octobers).
AL West
Teams: Santa Cruz Sea Breeze, Albuquerque Animal House, Los Angeles Eagles, Tucson Rattlers
Winner: Los Angeles Eagles
Confidence: ★★★☆☆
This one’s messy—in a good way. Santa Cruz and Albuquerque are real threats, but LA’s overall balance feels best suited to survive the long season and edge the pack.
National League Champion
🏆 Cincinnati Reds
Why:
They’re the most October-shaped NL team: impact pitching, enough offense to win close games, and fewer structural weaknesses than the rest of the field.
Milwaukee is steady but less explosive.
St. Louis is strong but a little more predictable.
Seattle/Boston equivalents don’t exist in the NL this year — Cincinnati’s upside stands out.
NLCS vibe: Reds over Cardinals in a tense, low-scoring series.
American League Champion
🏆 Louisville Bills
Why:
Four straight pennants matters — not emotionally, structurally.
They’re built to survive injuries, variance, and seven-game series.
Atlanta can absolutely push them, and the Bombers are dangerous, but Louisville still has the cleanest combination of:
rotation depth
bullpen clarity
lineup balance
They don’t beat themselves.
ALCS vibe: Louisville over Atlanta in 6.
World Series Champion
🏆 Louisville Bills
Why Louisville over Cincinnati:
Louisville’s experience advantage is real, not narrative fluff.
Their bullpen + defensive late-game structure gives them a measurable edge in close games.
Cincinnati can absolutely win games 1–2, but over 6–7 games Louisville’s depth wins out.
World Series prediction:
Louisville over Cincinnati, 4–2
Multiple one-run games
One Reds blowout that doesn’t change the series arc
