However, Houston will emerge as the AL pennant winner, denying Boston a chance to defend its 2018 World Series championship. The Cleveland Indians will again take home the Central division crown (their fourth in a row) while the Houston Astros will pull off a three-peat as West division champs. OOTP 20 sees the American League East division producing three-fifths of the AL’s playoff teams, with the Boston Red Sox again taking first place and the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays securing the Wild Card spots. We also forecast season expectations for three players who will be closely watched this year: Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper, San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado, and eagerly anticipated Toronto Blue Jays prospect Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., the son of a Hall of Famer. Our friends at MLB Network featured the results of our season sim, which involved 1,000 run-throughs of the 2019 season to produce our picks this year. Can OOTP 20 make it a perfect three-for-three? The last two years, Out of the Park Baseball correctly predicted the participants in the World Series, as well as the eventual winner. Opening Day is over and the 2019 Major League Baseball season is underway.
