The San Francisco Giants will win the world series, beating the Seattle Mariners in seven games. The Giants will beat the New York Mets for the pennant. The Braves miss the playoffs by falling behind both the Mets and the Marlins in the NL East. The Mariners will beat the Yankees who eliminate the early favorite Baltimore Orioles. My crystal ball is telling me the Cubbies will win the '98 series in four games after running all over the Major Leagues.
College football is next.
Chronologically, Iowa State is primed for its biggest season ever. Still, Colorado and not the Cyclones will win the Northern Division of the Big 12.
