Look, you don’t have to believe me — please don’t look it up — but every prediction the Covering the Corner staff has made has been completely accurate. That’s just how it works.
With another year of baseball finally upon us, we turn our predictive powers to the results of the 2022 baseballing campaign in which the mighty Guardians of Cleveland will battle the forces of evil with the equivalent of a pool noddle in one hand and a rocket launcher in the other. It’s an odd plan, but they’re going forward and so are we.
So, without further adieu, here’s how we see things panning out this year:
