Yesterday I took a stab at predicting the standings and records for all 30 teams in the majors and today I want to take a stab at the playoffs and World Series predictions. Last year I did this and I was terrible at it, I had the Yankees and the Atlanta Braves in the World Series, so this year maybe I can do a little better.
Here are your playoff teams, bolded teams win their series:
Cleveland Indians vs. Boston Red Sox in Wild Card game
Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers
New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Washington Nationals in Wild Card game
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals
The Dodgers do not know how to spend billions of dollars and actually win, not yet anyway, and will run into a buzz saw with a hot, young, and fresh Washington Nationals team. The Nats have Natitude and the power pitching, the young power pitching at that, to succeed in the postseason. Mix in some Jayson Werth timely hitting and the speed at the top of their order and the Nationals will be too good to lose this season, even against the Dodgers.
Not that kind of homer... |
The New York Yankees in seven games, I refuse to pick against my team ever. The Yankees have the pieces to compete and the minor league depth to either make a trade or fill in holes and a lot of the rest of the league have taken small steps back. It's time for the Commissioners Trophy to come back to the Bronx and I think it will in 2014.
