2023 Season Preview: The World Series

[Red Sox GM (Nick)]

Thank you everyone for reading and participating in the 2023 season preview.  Here is the final poll based on the top 2 teams as voted by the Mibble owners.  Will keep it open until 12AM ET Monday, April 24.  Will keep this one blind so you will have to come back next week to see the results.

For what it's worth - Washington Nationals GM (Alex) and I differed slightly from the group in our final four and ultimately the World Series, with Cleveland (4 votes in owner poll) in the mix over the Orioles (6 votes).  Keep an eye on the Reds in the NL, who garnered 5 owner votes compared to 6 for the Brew Crew and 7 for the Braves.  Honorable mentions (1 vote each) for the Mariners, Red Sox, Royals, Cubs, Marlins, Pirates, and Rockies.  Will be fun to see how everything plays out.

ALCS:
(AL2) Guardians over (AL1) Rangers

NLCS:
(NL1) Braves over (NL2) Brewers

World Series:
(NL1) Braves over (AL2) Guardians

[Braves GM (Eric)]

Thanks for the votes of confidence! Let’s see if the baseball gods have a similar viewpoint. Best of luck to all!

[St. Louis GM (Bert)]

I feel attacked, how is my team not in the conversation?

[Orioles GM (Andy)]

Bert, blatant disrespect. You should post this in the locker room for your players to see

[Red Sox GM (Nick)]

Thanks to the voters. Fascinating results. Of 8 owners, 7 expect Braves in World Series, with 5 picking them to win. 6 expect Rangers to lose in the Series to either Braves or Brewers. 2 expect Orioles to win it all over the Braves.
