MLB 2025: Shocking Division Underdogs Set to Rewrite the Season’s Destiny
Opta Analyst’s Projected Winner: New York Yankees (68.5%)

AL Central
Fagan’s Winner: Cleveland Guardians
Let’s be honest: The most shocking thing about the 2024 season wasn’t Shohei Ohtani going 50/50 or Aaron Judge bashing 58 home runs. It was the AL Central claiming two of the three AL wild cards and sending three teams to the playoffs. All three teams – the Guardians, Royals and Tigers – will be good again, and the Minnesota Twins (if they can stay healthy) could be right in the mix, too. That Detroit rotation, especially, could be elite, but the lineup needs another bat or two. All four of those teams (sorry, Chicago White Sox fans) offer a compelling reason to believe they can win the division title. Those four teams, though, also have at least one area that is more than a little bit concerning. So this is a bailout, maybe, but the benefit of the doubt goes to the Guardians and their fearless leader, the incredible Jose Ramirez.
