Contest # 1: Pick your favorite MLB team and predict what their regular season record will be in 2015. Tie-Breaker: Will they make the playoffs, and how far will they go if they do?

Prize: Two great seats/tickets to a Nationals’ game in 2016.

**                    **                    **                    **                    **

Contest # 2: Make a prediction about something that will happen during the 2015 MLB season.

(Your prediction could be about a team (e.g., Yankees again will miss the playoffs), about a player (e.g., A-Rod will have a rebound year and will (re)gain the support of Yankee fans and the continued hatred of everyone else), about a record (e.g., an extra inning game will go 27 innings), about an ‘event’ (Big Papi will hit five home runs in one game), or about whatever you think has a chance of happening in MLB in 2015. Lots of possibilities. One prediction only.

Of the predictions that come true, MillersTime readers will determine which one is the best prediction (and, therefore, who wins the prize). In the past, voters have selected the most specific predictions, ones that showed both baseball knowledge and a willingness to predict something a bit unusual.)

Prize: Your choice of One of These 20 Best Baseball Books Ever Written.
