Last month I ran MLB Pick 'em Contest #1 (Opening Day) and it turned out to be pretty popular. So let's do it again.
Just predict the winning teams for Major League Baseball games to be played on Sunday August 30. Whoever has the most correct predictions wins cards (maybe even a card from your want list)! Make your picks from only these 15 games. (In your post, you may copy and paste the games below and then delete the teams you think will not win.)
New York Mets @ New York Yankees (Game 1) 1:05 pm ET
Chicago Cubs @ Cincinnati Reds 1:10 pm ET
Minnesota Twins @ Detroit Tigers 1:10 pm ET
Tampa Bay Rays @ Miami Marlins 1:10 pm ET
Washington Nationals @ Boston Red Sox 1:35 pm ET
Oakland A’s @ Houston Astros 2:10 pm ET
Kansas City Royals @ Chicago White Sox 2:10 pm ET
Pittsburgh Pirates @ Milwaukee Brewers 2:10 pm ET
Cleveland Indians @ St. Louis Cardinals 2:15 pm ET
Los Angeles Dodgers @ Texas Rangers 2:35 pm ET
Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays 3:07 pm ET
San Diego Padres @ Colorado Rockies 3:10 pm ET
Seattle Mariners @ Los Angeles Angels 4:10 pm ET
San Francisco Giants @ Arizona Diamondbacks 4:10 pm ET
Atlanta Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies 7:08 pm ET
Contest rules:
- Games cancelled/postponed before being deemed an “official” game due to weather/corona virus/other causes will not be counted towards this contest.
- If a doubleheader is played, only the first game’s result will count for this contest.
- The deadline to post your predictions is
10:05 1:05 pm ET Sunday August 30 or first pitch of the first game to commence that day (just in case a game has to start earlier as part of a doubleheader or the first game is delayed by weather or something else).
- Prediction posts that are edited after the deadline will be disqualified.
- In case of a tie for most correct predictions, I will randomize via random.org to determine a first-place winner.
