2026 could be one of the more memorable years of baseball in a long time. The World Baseball Classic is fast approaching, the Dodgers could three-peat and some bright young stars are on the cusp of becoming monumental.
Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan and FanDuel brought me on “More Ways to Win” radio to dig into the 2026 MLB futures board. I explained why the Dodgers can absolutely three‑peat without being anywhere near a 103.5‑win juggernaut, and why the Yankees’ underlying numbers — including leading the league in third‑order wins — make them a prime regression‑to‑the‑mean candidate in the AL East.
I also break down how load management and the World Baseball Classic could shape Shohei Ohtani’s season, which team Poni and I agree to hammer its under win total, which offense I’ll be betting to hang crooked numbers frequently, and how to think about win totals and World Series odds in a sport where 162 games are predictable, but October never is.
