Paige Spiranac makes surprising pick to win the World Series in 2023

American social media personality and former professional golfer Paige Spiranac set Twitter ablaze with her “big bold 2023 sports predictions” video.

After wishing her fans a happy new year, Spiranac took a moment to make a few spicy sports predictions for the upcoming calendar year.

She repped the Philadelphia Eagles, Rafael Nadal, Rory McIlroy, Coco Gauff and the Brooklyn Nets to win big in their respective leagues and sports. However, her most exciting prediction was who she thought would win the World Series. Much to the surprise of MLB baseball fans, Spiranac predicted that the New York Yankees would win the upcoming World Series.

She isn't alone! Alex, a Twitter user, predicted the winners of the next 10 World Series Champions in 2019. He's got them all right up until now, and he's predicted the Yankees to win next year too!

While re-signing superstar Aaron Judge and a busy offseason have definitely re-ignited the Yankees' World Series charge, saying they can win at this point sounds dicey. Who knows though, only time will tell.

Spiranac may have left her fans on Twitter divided, but with quirky and interactive content like this, her popularity on Twitter will only continue to rise.

Spiranac’s sporting knowledge in general knows is quite vast, and her involvement with Golf Digest as a featured writer has great credibility.

Spiranac has also been featured in magazines such as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and Golf Digest.
