Predictions for the Rest of the Baseball Season

The rest of the baseball season should be one of the most exciting that the Mariners have had in recent years.  I'm very excited to see how they are able to finish out the season, it is a big surprise that they have been able to be in the running this late into the season.  Especially when you take into consideration the terrible season that they have last year.  It will take a very long time for the Mariners to reach the level that they become a real powerhouse in the American League west again, but I believe that there are the right path.

My first prediction for the rest of the season is that the team will be able to at least finish 500 for the rest of the year.  They have been able to put together a good campaign so far, and I just hope that they will be able to continue to play consistent baseball for the rest of the season.  So far, there have been a bit inconsistent but it looks as if their manager Eric Wedge will continue to help make the team better moving forward.

My second prediction for the rest of the season is that Justin Smoak finishes the season with more than 25 home runs.  He has shown that he has a lot of power, and I think that he will continue to display it throughout the rest of the season.  Of course, he struggles from playing in Safeco Field, but has been able to show that he is an excellent candidate to be the top our guy on the Seattle Mariners.

My third prediction is that we will finish third in the AL West.  I expect the Anaheim Angels to pick up where they have left off in the past and to finish in second place.  I believe that the Texas Rangers will win the division, just as they did last year on their way to the World Series.
