   Rather than vote for what I think will happen (which won't work anyway), I'll just go with who I'm rooting for. Orioles defeat Rangers 4-3 in 11 innings Braves defeat Cardinals 7-2 Athletics defeat Tigers in 4 Orioles defeat Yankees in 5 Nationals defeat Braves in 3 Reds defeat Giants in 5 Orioles defeat Athletics in 6 Nationals defeat Reds in 5 Orioles defeat Nationals in 7

   AL Wild Card Game: Baltimore, 5-4. NL Wild Card Game: Atlanta, 2-1. ALDS (1): Baltimore in 5. ALDS (2): Oakland in 4. NLDS (1): Washington in 5. NLDS(2): Cincinnati in 5. ALCS: Baltimore in 6. NLCS: Cincinnati in 7. World Series: Cincinnati in 6.

6. Last year's pick was gold (fixed a few things):

   World Series: STL, 7 Each game is won by the home team, Game 5 is the only blowout. Game 6 is won by an 11th-inning John Jay HR.

   Did I say John Jay? I meant Freese. Duh.

   AL Wild Card Game: Os, 7-6 final score NL Wild Card Game: Cs, 5-1 final score ALDS (1): Os, 4 games ALDS (2): As, 3 games, Miggy does not reach base. NLDS (1): Cs, 3 games, This is what you get for letting Teddy win the race. NLDS (2): Reds, 5 games ALCS: As, 5 games. NLCS: Cs, 7 games. World Series: Cs, 7 games. Cardinals first back-to-back WS champs since the 1998-2000 Yankees. Why? Cardinals are always strongest when they look like crap, same reasoning as last year. Less confident because it's not LaRussa at the helm.

   1. Side-prediction:
      Orioles win any games they win by two or fewer runs if in regulation. Lose any games they lose by wide margins.
      I'm all for this anti-Pythagoras thing going as far as it can. What the heck did he know? He never even watched a game played.

    1. I was going to predict a Lohse no-no, but that's just crazy talk.

       1. That should be worth a million points.

22. In case anybody didn't know, the format for this year's LDS is different. The lower-seeded team hosts games 1-2, and the higher-seeded game hosts games 3-4*-5*.

    1. or both
