Based on our results, Just Baseball’s World Series prediction is for the Philadelphia Phillies to square off against the Seattle Mariners in the 2025 Fall Classic.
AL and NL Pennant Predictions
The Phillies earned 40.6% of the vote on who would win the NL pennant, with the Dodgers, Brewers, and Padres all receiving at least 15% of the vote, accounting for roughly 57% of the vote combined between those three teams.
The Cubs did not get much support amongst our staff, garnering only 3.1% of the vote, and nobody was bold enough to pick the Reds to win out in the National League.
On the American League side, you can see that our staff was largely split between two teams, with the Mariners receiving 53% of the vote, and the Blue Jays accounting for another 31.3%.
The Yankees are the biggest surprise here, as there weren’t many on our staff who believed in the reigning AL champs. The Tigers got just as much love as the Yankees, and the Red Sox were not all that far behind.
Nobody picked the Guardians to win it all, but they just might be the team of destiny with how they finished their 2025 regular season campaign.
