Gorilla: It's one of my favorite times of the year. The time when air begins to chill as men become legends, forever forged into the history of baseball.
October=Playoffs
This year's playoffs are sure to be an amazing finale to a great regular season. Here are some things to keep an eye on during the road to the World Series.
-The Tampa Bay Rays' first playoff experience ever
-Chicago Cubs looking to win a championship for the first time in a century
-The Boston Red Sox looking to repeat as champs and win 3 of the past 5 Titles
-Milwaukee Brewers' first time in the playoffs in 26 years
Here is how the first round of Division Series are set up.
ALDS:
Boston Red Sox (95-67) -Wild Card @
Las Angeles Angels of Aneheim (100-62)
Chicago White Sox (89-74) @
Tampa Bay Rays (97-65)
NLDS:
Las Angeles Dodgers (84-78) @
Chicago Cubs (97-64)
Milwaukee Brewers (90-72) Wild Card @
Philadelphia Phillies (92-70)
As always in these situations, plenty of predictions are to be made. Here you go:
Angels Def. Red Sox
BoSox a little dinged up, no Manny, home-field advantage Angels
Rays Def. White Sox
ChiSox a little aged, Joe Maddon keeps the troops focused
Cubs Def. Dodgers
Cubs get solid pitching and hitting, a strong force in these playoffs
Brewers Def. Phillies
Great match-up, two emotionally charged teams, Ryan Braun and CC Sabathia push the Brew Crew forward
Gorilla's Championship Series Prediction
ALCS: Angels Def. Rays
Rays magical season ends at the mercy of one of the most potent line-ups around
NLCS: Brewers Def. Cubs
No Ben Sheets- No World Series, Derek Lee steps up big, epic series of Central Division foes
Gorilla's World Series Prediction
Angels Def. Cubs
Dominant bullpen shuts down the Cubs, Vlad slugs, Cubs pitching fades
That is how I think it will turn out (If not Angels, then Red Sox WS Champs).
What I would like to see is a Brewers vs Rays World Series with the Brewers ending up on top. I belive in Ryan Braun and CC Sabathia.
Let me know what you think will happen.
Enjoy the post season.

Gorilla, great predictions..i enjoyed your insights.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I believe the Angels are going to come out on top. Theyre lineup is fierce with Tex in there now and I believe their bullpen is solid. I would like to see the Brewers win it though. That would be a great story.
Nice predictions pal unfortunately neither of your teams are around anymore.
