Hello sports fans. Welcome to that magical time of year where all five major sports leagues in the United States concurrently play...October. While hockey and basketball are just now starting up with preseason, baseball enters its postseason starting later today. I don't follow baseball as closely as I used to (in part because of a lame AF commissioner), but I shall try to dispense who I believe will make it through and win the World Series.
Remember that there are TWELVE teams in the postseason instead of ten starting this year. A best of three wild card series, followed by the division series, the LCS, then the World Series. Frankly I miss the days when just the division winners reached the postseason, but those days are long gone now (before 1994). Anyway, here's who I have:
Wild Card Series:
Cleveland over Tampa Bay (sorry, but the Rays have no offense)
Toronto over Seattle
St. Louis over Philadelphia
NY Mets over San Diego
Division Series:
NY Yankees over Cleveland
Houston over Toronto
LA Dodgers over NY Mets
Atlanta over St. Louis
LCS:
NY Yankees over Houston
LA Dodgers over Atlanta
World Series:
Los Angeles Dodgers over New York Yankees in six.
