A regular Nostradamus over here.

Lupica actually publishes an article where he picks nine teams to win the World Series:

"Not giving odds here. This isn’t the sports book at Caesars Palace. No particular order for the rest of the field. But if the Yankees don’t win the World Series, who might?"

No.

It isn't the sports book at Caesars Palace.

The sports book at Caesars Palace has more integrity.


It's not even nine teams. It's nine teams "if the Yankees don't win." That's ten teams total. Out of 30.

I mean, unless you're trying to miss on purpose, one of these teams will almost certainly win the World Series.


"I just don’t believe in the Cubs, at least as presently constituted, and actually think the White Sox might be a more fun team to watch in 2020. I’ve seen too many postseason failures from the Twins against the Yankees to believe in them. The Red Sox are a lot of things right now. A serious contender doesn’t appear to be one of them."

Good to know.

At least it's an actual opinion, written down for posterity, without a hedge.

Mike Lupica does not think the Cubs or Red Sox are going to be good in 2020.


But why not just include the Cubs and White Sox and a few more teams while you're at it?

Bump it up to 12 or 13.

Heck, you can pick these teams randomly and you'd have a good shot at picking the winner.
