As the second half of the MLB season gets underway, we look back at a time before the 2024 MLB Season got underway when Stan, Griffin and Glenn got together to make their season-long predictions, including division winners, playoff teams, league award winners and World Series matchup and winner. Let’s just say, well, they could’ve been better… But have no fear, boys! Alas, an opportunity to change some of their picks that look much more worse for wear than others.
It’s simple, each was given $20 to try and out-bid the other guys on categories and change their pre-season pick. At their discretion, they could bid as much or little on a category as they wanted.
With the new picks highlighted and right next to their old selection that is crossed out, here are the results:
