Depends on who was talking, really. Below is a summary of ESPN writers' preseason picks - none of whom picked the Tigers to make the playoffs.

Not only are there thousands of sources out there issuing 'predictions' at the beginning of every season, but most of THEM issue about seven sets of predicitons between April and September, and then try to tell you in October that they were right all along.
Predictions mean absolutely nothing. Don't waste any more of your time worrying about who predicted what...after all, the people who issued these predictions back in April have moved on with their lives... we all should do the same.

Yankees or white sox. The white sox won the ws so why wouldn't have been and the Yankees always have the talent to go deep in the playoffs.

White Sox or Yankees depending on who you asked, some even liked Cleveland.

i replaced into no longer in the slightest degree shocked in regards to the Diamondbacks prevailing it. they have little media coverage, so no person observed it coming. however the West is a hard branch whilst in comparison with teh opposition in it. In all definitely I observed the Dodgers prevailing it, and if no longer them the Padres.
