PBN’s 2025 MLB Predictions

Two regular season games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs have already been played overseas, but the traditional MLB Opening Day is just over 24 hours away.

Heading into the 2025 season, the Dodgers, who won both games over the Cubs in Japan, are looking to defend their World Series title and are once again the favorites to win the Fall Classic.

But that’s the beauty of baseball. That’s why the games are played. Anything can happen. Our three-man staff at Pittsburgh Baseball Now made predictions for how we see the 2025 season unfolding.
