The 2023 MLB season is here. Here are FanSided insider Robert Murray’s MLB predictions for the season and who will ultimately win the World Series.

MLB Opening Day is here, and that means one of everyone’s favorite exercises are being done in mass quantities: MLB predictions for the 162-game regular season.

While I pride myself on accurate information, I must admit one of my biggest flaws: I am awful at predictions. Like, really bad. So if I predicted your team to make the postseason, I’m sorry. And if I predicted your team to miss the postseason, congratulations on winning the World Series.

That being said, I’m predicting that the San Diego Padres will win the World Series.

I love what team owner Peter Seidler and general manager A.J. Preller have done constructing that roster, spending money in ways that small-market teams dream of. Just think, once Fernando Tatis Jr. eventually returns, they’ll have an offense that features Tatis, Juan Soto, Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts, Jake Cronenworth, Trent Grisham, Ha-Seong Kim and Nelson Cruz. Lol.

Here are the rest of my 2023 MLB season predictions.
