So it's time for the baseball playoffs to start and after two fantastic play in games for the wild card, it looks like a very interesting field. I'd like to hear what everyone thinks. Here's how I'd predict the playoffs:
ALDS:
Boston vs Cleveland - Terry Francona takes on the team that he ended an 86 year World Series drought to win two championships with, now with his new team, a team that's trying to end a 68 year championship drought. The Indians feature quite possibly the best pitching in the AL and the Sox have easily the best offense. Cleveland's offense is pretty good too. Cleveland Wins in 5 games and everyone goes to the Party at Napoli's!
Toronto vs Texas - The final chapter of a year long feud? Last postseason Jose Bautista set off a firestorm with his bat flip around the world. Texas got all pissy started throwing at Bautista and then Rougned Odor punched his lights out at second base. Bautista gets the last laugh here. Toronto Wins in 4 games.
NLDS:
San Francisco vs Chicago - It's 2016, so of course when it looks like the Chicago Cubs have their best chance to put all their curses and bad luck behind them they run into the team that makes the World Series in every even year in the first round. It's just so Cubs. Giants Win in 5 games.
Los Angeles vs Washington - This is a series that really goes under the radar. I'll go with SoCal vs NoCal NLCS. Dodgers win in 4 games.
ALCS:
Toronto vs Cleveland - The Blue Jays are the one team in the AL playoffs that the Indians have a winning record against this season. Expect that trend to continue as Cleveland rides the best home field advantage in the American League to the World Series. Cleveland Wins in 5 games.
NLCS:
Giants vs Dodgers - As mentioned earlier, it's an even year, the Giants make the World Series in even years. End of discussion. Giants win in 6 games.
World Series:
San Francisco vs Cleveland - Move over Green Bay, Wisconsin, Cleveland, Ohio is Title Town, USA now!! The only thing wrong with the Cavs championship was that they had to win it on the road. With the American League holding home field advantage the Tribe won't have that problem. Cleveland Wins in 6 games. P.S. when Cleveland hosts Game 1 of the World Series, right across the street the Cavaliers will be kicking off their season with a ring ceremony the same night. In what can only be described as the greatest night in Cleveland ever.
