It's for the best that I don't remember any of my preseason predictions. What I do remember are the educated guesses and half-baked hunches.

Orlando Cepeda, fist baseman for the San Francisco Giants, played in 11 All-Star games and three World Series, 1959.

The Mets have won 4 straight games, completing a 3-game home sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 6-3 victory Wednesday. New York cashed as a -161 home favorite, while the total (9) resulted in a push.
