Bold predictions for the 2025 MLB season are being tossed around, and several players are making headlines. Pete Alonso is poised to win the NL Triple Crown, supported by a stellar .328 batting average and significant improvements in his contact rates. Meanwhile, the Oakland Athletics are unexpectedly in contention for the AL West title, fueled by surprising contributions from players like Tyler Soderstrom and Brent Rooker. Shohei Ohtani's situation is murky as his return to pitching could risk his health during the postseason, raising doubts about his ability to help the Los Angeles Dodgers. Riley Greene is a dark horse for the AL MVP race, as he continues to bounce back from a slow start. Luis Arraez's ability to limit strikeouts to below 20 this season may be a historic feat. Finally, the Baltimore Orioles could be on track for a disappointing season, struggling with their starting rotation, leading to predictions of 90 losses.
