AL Awards

Rookie of the Year: Daniel Norris

Manager of the Year: Buck Showalter

Cy Young: Felix Hernandez

MVP: Jose Abreu

AL Playoffs

Wild Card game: Mariners over Orioles

ALDS: Mariners over Angels. White Sox over Blue Jays.

ALCS: White Sox over Mariners

NL Awards

Rookie of the Year: Kris Bryant

Manager of the Year: Mike Redmond

Cy Young: Clayton Kershaw

MVP: Giancarlo Stanton

NL Playoffs

Wild Card game: Marlins over Padres

NLDS: Cardinals over Nationals. Marlins over Dodgers.

And your 2015 World Series winners: The Chicago White Sox, in 5 games. It's not the best team that wins, it's the hottest team. And I just think Chris Sale and Jose Abreu are so hot right now.
