Twins’ end-of-season WAR leaders for position players & pitchers:
Prediction time! With the Twins Magic Number at 9, and a relatively easy 13 game schedule from here on out, a Twins Central Division win is a near certainty. So let’s do a contest when the Twins will outright clinch the division. Below is the schedule for both teams to help you decide. The earliest the Twins could clinch is this Friday September 20th.
| Day | Date | MN Game | CLE Game |
|---|---|---|---|
| M | 9.16 | CWS@MN | |
| TU | 9.17 | CWS@MN | DET@CLE |
| W | 9.18 | CWS@MN | DET@CLE |
| TH | 9.19 | KC@MN | DET@CLE |
| F | 9.20 | KC@MN | PHI@CLE |
| SA | 9.21 | KC@MN | PHI@CLE |
| SU | 9.22 | KC@MN | PHI@CLE |
| M | 9.23 | ||
| TU | 9.24 | MN@DET | CLE@CWS |

| SA | 9.28 | MN@KC | CLE@WAS |
| SU | 9.29 | MN@KC | CLE@WAS |
Put your prediction in the comments below (spoiler if you want). Try to get them in by say before Tuesday's game. Then sit back and see when the Twins will be sipping (and spilling) champagne.
Sure, let's do this. I can make an actual post, and then later I can put things into a spreadsheet so that someone else can figure things out even later, right?

If you want to get in on the 2015 postseason prediction contest, email me or spoiler it here.
Guessing the WC winner is worth 1. DS winners are worth two, CS winners are worth four and the WS winner is worth 8.

DS: CHC or PIT at STL
DS: NYM at LAD
CS WINNER:
WORLD SERIES WINNER:
SBG talked about a contest, but really I just want to BS about expectations. This in no way should replace any contest, but games are starting soon (four teams already have finished games), and we should do this before we know more.
Typical things to venture:
Division Champs: ALC, ALW, ALE, NLC, NLW, NLE
Two wild cards per league (feel free to rank them, I won't)
World Series winner and loser.
Also postseason awards, one each per league:
Most Valuable Players
Cy Young Awardees
Managers of the Year
Rookies of the Year
Comeback Players of the Year
If you feel like making further-out guesses, there are Golden Gloves, Silver Sluggers, All-Star starters, All-Star reserves, and MVPs for each of the following: ASG, ALCS, NLCS, and World Series.
Go at it.
Since the Wolves are doing rather well this year and I like polls, time to gauge what people think will happen in the second half.
