1. Chicago Cubs win NL Central, but lose in NLDS

Many preseason World Series predictions have the Cubs winning it all, as on paper they are one of the best teams in all of baseball. However, that is on paper, and we have no idea how well players like Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist will be able to fit in. We also do not know if Jake Arrieta will be able to replicate his outstanding 2015 Cy Young Award winning season.

Like the Nationals last season, injuries are going to ravage the Cubs, and they are going to limp into the postseason where they eventually lose in the NLDS in four games.
