MNN’s World Series Prediction

Well, I did well through the Division series picking 3 of 4 teams, but, the CS did not go as well as both teams I picked did not make it through. This toughens things, the Cardinals or the Rangers. Let’s do comparisons first…

Bullpen:

Advantage Rangers. First of all, the Caridnals’ closer Motte, can not yet be trusted in big situations while Neftali can. Also, I would rather Adams, Uehara, and Ogando in the late innings over Dotel, Salas, and Rzepczenski(???).

Leadoff Men: Furcal vs. Kinsler.

Kinsler. Easy. The man is a beast.

Middle of the Lineup:

This one has to go to the Birds. I feel that Hamilton will struggle and the combined power of Pujols, Berkman, and Holliday is a scary post season tandem.

Overall Offense:

Texas. They are too deep for the Cards. Outside of Pujols, Berkman, Holliday, and Freese..the Cards have nothing on Texas.

Starting Pitching:

This one is tough. I almost want to call a draw, but I cant. Carpenter is better than Wilson, so that goes to the birds there. However the rest is Holland, Lewis, and Harrison Vs. Garcia, Jackson, and Lohse. To me, since I think pitchers will excel in this series, I have to give the advantage to the Rangers because of A, the lineup they have to pitch through and B, they have power arms. It is really a toss up though.

WORLD SERIES PREDICTION.

The Fall Classic will be 7 games long.

There will be a parade for Nolan Ryan through Texas.

Rangers in 7…write it down.

MNN’s Postseason Predictions

Well, it is the postseason again and the Mets aren’t in it…anyway, that doesn’t mean that I can’t predict the outcome. Let me say something first, these were picked this afternoon, I just had time to write it now. Here we go…

Texas vs. Tampa- My pick is the Rays. There is too much magic going on with that team for them to lose this fast.

Detroit vs. New York- I pick the Tigers. The Yankees pitching will let them down in my opinion.

St. Louis vs. Philadelphia- I’m gonna surprise here and pick the Cards. They are on fire and I think they can pull off the upset. Maybe I just hate the Phils too.

Arizona vs. Milwaukee- The Brewers will win this series. They are too good.

LCS:

Detroit vs. Tampa- I pick Detroit here because of Doug Fister.

St. Louis vs. Milwaukee- Milwaukee will overwhelm the Cardinals and go to the fall classic.

WS:

Detroit vs. Milwaukee- There will be a parade for Fielder before he walks this offseason. Milwaukee is so deep in every aspect.

What do u guys think?

The other day i became 2 for 2 in my LCS predictions picking the Rangers over the Yankees and the Giants over the Philies. Picking against 2 teams you hate is easy, but now my world series pick is tougher. For games 1-4 I believe Lee will beat Lincecum, Cain will beat Wilson, Lewis will beat Sanchez, and Bumgarner will beat Hunter. Great a 2-2 series gets me absolutely no where. I believe this series will go 7 games and the TEXAS RANGERS will be getting their first world series in franchise history this year. Hopefully, I’ll be a good 3 for 3.
