Spoiler:
The Padres are one of our two 7-point SHEEPs! That gives txdome a score of 195, which is two points clear of Priptonite and the field, and clinches a podium spot!
Thanks for running TJ! Very proud to lift this prestigious trophy. I may be a soccer fan first but you can all remember me forever as the baseball GAWD
And our final incorrect is sort of a reverse homer pick. The hatred of the New York Yankees runs pure in Sox fans. They finish at +207, a surprising 3rd in MLB.
Texas Rangers, -17 Oakland Athletics, -87 Toronto Blue Jays, -91 Baltimore Orioles, -98 New York Mets, -128 San Francisco Giants, -137 Detroit Tigers, -159
Of the unrevealed corrects, our other 7-point SHEEP answer is the Chicago White Sox. They finish 2017 at -114, but have a lot of exciting young players to start the long rebuild.
Our next correct was played by 3 people, including yours truly. I took a slight risk going for the mediocre-bad rather than just straight up bad, and it paid off by selecting the Kansas City Royals. I wasn't the only one on them though, and they finish at -89.
