Who ya got? I'll go first.. Wild Card: A's beat Royals. I'm taking Jon Lester over James Shields all day in this one and done game. Giants beat Pirates Again going with the pitching matchup, and I think Bumgarner gets the better of it. ALDS Tigers beat Orioles in 4 I just can't see the Orioles matching up against this rotation. A's beat Angels in 5 Lester, Shark, Gray get it done against a depleted Angels staff. ALCS Tigers over A's in 6. Both staffs are juiced, so the better lineup prevails in 7. NLDS Cardinals over Dodgers in 4 The one team that beats Kershaw, and after that the Birds have the rotation advantage. Nationals over Giants in 3. Nats put down the sweep. NLCS Cards over Nationals in 7. Flip a coin on this one. Going with experience. World Series Tigers over Cards in 6. This team is aging and wants to win. Miggy and Co. finish it out.
I'll play... Royals over A's. They don't call him "big game James" for nothing Pirates over Giants. Pirates are white hot lately. Hot wins. Tigers beat Orioles. Pitching is too good. Angels beat royals. Angels are better, nedly is a bad manager. Dodgers over cards in 4.Kershaw and greinke all day long. Cards really aren't that good. Nationals over pirates in 5. I think the nats are just too good. Tigers over Angels. Tigers are just better. Nats over Dodgers. Not sure why, I just think they're better. Nats over tigers in 7. It's just the nats year. Harper proves his worth.
"Big Game" Shields hasn't been a good postseason pitcher in the past, but he's in a groove after the early dinger. And bro you can't make a prediction when the game is in the 6th inning.
Moss=Clutch Why bring in a fastball reliant rookie pitcher against a guy that absolutely murders fastballs? Mistake there Yost.
I think the Angels get it done this year. Team is on a roll. I know the Tigers have the flashy names in their rotation, but Verlander is a shell of his old self. Price has been good, but no where near the Cy Young candidate he can be since joining the Tigers. Sanchez will be coming out of the pen due to injury concerns. Team is shaky this year in my opinion.

Nats or cards... Cant decide which one im pulling for. Hard to bet against the cardinals with their history.
I have a team for the playoffs for the second straight season. Go O's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Haha I originally started the post earlier but I had to take my son to soccer practice. Although, I believe they were behind when I made the post. Lol
Let's go Os!!! Tigers rotation isn't that impressive. IMO I totally forgot about the game last night. Missed out on a good one.
I have no words for what happened last night! I gave up on them after the 6th. I knew immediately that bring Ventura in was a bad decision. I would have let Shields get out of it on his own. That being said, pretty much every other button Yost pushed worked last night. I still can't believe it! The Royals won their first playoff appearance in 29 years after being down 4 runs after 7. To quote Jarod Dyson, "That what speed do!" Go Royals!!!!!
I agree, I thought leaving Shields in would of been a better bet, but it worked out in the long run I guess. Hell of a game. Congrats to you KC fans, you guys have had a long wait.
I'm a little late but, I picked the Orioles to take the AL before the season started. So that's my AL pick and I'm sticking to it. Not to drag this out, World Series.... Baltimore/Washington. 6 Games Baltimore wins.
I'll be honest, as long as it's not one of the 3 California teams left in it that win I'll be happy. I'm of course pulling for the Cards but they have their holes.
Generally, I make a postseason prediction at the trade deadline, and this year I had no idea who to pick for the playoffs. Now that the playoffs are here, I still have no idea, and I am quite shocked at how the season ended up. I had originally predicted Royals over A's and Bucco's over San Fran Angels over Royals Tigers over O's Nationals over Giants Dodgers over Cardinals Angels over Tigers in 5 thanks to the Tigers horrible bullpen Nationals over Dodgers in 7 Nationals win their first of 3 consecutive World Series appearances For the record, I am pulling for the Royals to win it all
Boom goes Kershaw. I've said it all along that the Cards would beat him. They have his number. Great game, and I cannot stand Adrian Gonzalez.
Well I guess I'm a little late getting in this but why not..... (not to mention games 1 already done) Giants over Nats in 4 Royals over Angles in 5 (gonna be tough but they get it done) Orioles over Tigers (it's already 2-0 to the O's) Cards over Dodgers (Kershaw already got beat and I'm not a LA fan) NLCS Giants over Cards ALCS O's over Royals 2014 World Series World Series Champs S.F. Giants It's another crazy year squeaking into the playoffs, the Giants are coming from the wild card again and it's an even year. What more could you want!
Hahahaha, thug Molina should be banned from the game. I hate the cardinals and their unwritten rules police egos... Since larussa is in the mlb front office, I doubt Molina gets suspended for shoving the ump like he should be too..
