MLB 2026: Surprising Division Winners and Shocking Upsets You Won't See Coming

Fagan’s Bold Prediction: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. taps into the magic he found in the 2025 postseason and has a monster season, challenging Judge for the AL MVP award. Remember how dominating he was? He posted a .397/.494/.795 slash line, with eight home runs and 15 RBIs in the Jays’ 18 playoff games. Nothing about that performance felt like a fluke; instead, it felt much more like a preview of what’s to come in 2026.

Opta Analyst’s Projected Winner: New York Yankees (29.5%)

Fagan’s Winner: Detroit Tigers

The Tigers have sort of a weird dynamic heading into this season. On one hand, there’s very much a sense of urgency with the impending departure of ace Tarik Skubal – the back-to-back AL Cy Young Award winner is famously a free agent after the season – and the return of 43-year-old Justin Verlander, the future Hall of Famer who would love to lead his first team back to the World Series for the first time since 2012.
