How are this postseason so far, the 2 wild card games was interesting. The last one lived up to the billing (Dodgers vs Cardinals). The first one (Yankees vs Red Sox) was a one sided affair after the 2nd inning when Gerrit Cole did not last too long. So both the Red Sox and Dodgers move on to the postseason. All 4 matchups have plenty of headlines, so its tough to focus on just one series. Good thing its a best of five in this round. Can you imagine the attention it would get if it was a seventh game series. A couple of notes off the field like, Jayce Tingler is out as manager of the San Diego Padres after a critical 2nd half collapse. At the start of the season they were primed for a playoff spot, only to falter on the field, then it spilled to the dugout. The other news, Matt Vasgersian is no longer doing ‘Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN’ after 4 years with Alex Rodriguez (Analyst). Im sure ESPN will make the right call on this one. So now here is my picks:
American league:
Tampa Bay Rays over Boston Red Sox (in 4 games)
Houston Astros over Chicago White Sox (in 5 games)
National league:
San Francisco Giants over Los Angeles Dodgers (in 5 games)
Milwaukee Brewers over Atlanta Braves (in 5 games)
There you have it my first installment of my Mlb Playoff Picks. So enjoy the games and will be back soon!
