With only a quarter left of regular season baseball, here is BamHopWeb’s official 2019 MLB Division Champion Predictions.
The American League

The AL Central race is a dogfight between the Minnesota Twins and the Cleveland Indians. However, Minnesota’s remaining schedule is much easier than Cleveland’s, so the Twins have the edge in the AL Central. Photo by Minnesota Public Radio
The Houston Astros winning the AL West is a sure bet. The Astros are widely regarded as the best team in baseball and are expected to represent the American League in the World Series. Photo by the Houston Chronicle
