Pinstripe Alley's 2014 Yankees and MLB predictions

It's that time of year again--that blissful period when prognosticators across the land put forth columns offering predictions about the upcoming baseball season. Given the nature of sports and John Sterling's favorite phrase unrelated to Jayson Nix, it's a fruitless exercise, but it's generally still fun to do anyway, if not only for bragging rights. A solid portion of the Pinstripe Alley writing staff contributed to my prediction queries during spring training, and now, just a day away from the first meaningful Yankees baseball in almost half a year, here they are. It's definitely an exciting time.

Below are the predictions I requested and the staff's answers. Are we crazy? Are we channeling Nostradamus? Let us know! (Keep in mind that some staff members made their predictions before numerous injuries occurred during the second half of spring training.)

More importantly, I highly encourage you to make your own predictions and see if you can beat us!

2) 2014 NL standings
