Omg I’m so fired up for the Braves and Phillies. What an epic bout this should be
I think I’m going to go ahead and make my decision and say it’ll be the Phillies winning the WS against the Astros in a full seven game series possibly six.
Dodgers will beat the Dbacks and the Phillies will take out the Dodgers in five games.
For the record though I’d like to say whomever wins the Braves v Phillies will more than likely be the WS Winner.
AL I expect Carlos Correa to continue his October magic with a fantastic series against his former team but the Astros will emerge victorious.
By the way I believe Verlander is starting his thirteenth post season Game 1….and I believe we have Kershaw starting his twelfth! How about that for cool? I’m pretty sure these are at the top of the list. I know Verlander has something like 35 starts in the playoffs.
Experience simply cannot be overstated in the post season.
I think the Orioles and Rangers will be a fun lights out series and I’d be pleased with either outcome if I’m honest. On one hand you end up with an all Texas ALCS and on the other you get the young and incredibly early peaking fan favorite Orioles in the Championship with a shot at immortality.
Since someone must be selected I’ll take the Orioles. Regardless of outcome here I just don’t see anyone getting past the Astros because now they’re hitting stride and this is their wheelhouse.
Astros will represent the AL and will give the NL team ALL they want in the WS but I give the crown to the winner of Braves v Phillies. I believe the Phillies have the ultimate edge with those excellent deadline moves they made. I felt like they tipped the scale and made themselves very very deep for a run.
The fun will be to sit back and watch. I would not mind a single bit if I’m wrong about a few of these as it would make for a much much different dynamic. Heck I’d absolutely love to see the Twins play Arizona for it all and I think that would be a great battle but alas i don’t see it happening.
I cannot wait for tonight

If @Ericulous1_PSN doesn't care, I'll add you into the grid. I just need your 4 picks for the wild card.
All are welcome, no fortunes being wagered haha. I was 1 for 4 on the WC round
Were you going to add your selections?

I see Max Scherzer was left off the ALDS. As a Dodgers fan this doesn’t surprise me. Is he gonna blame the Rangers for underusing him?

This is funny. Nice!

Isn't he hurt? I thought he had a session on Friday to see if he was ready to come back, not on the IL but day to day, but still not ready.

He is hurt but didn’t look too shabby I thought. We gotta remember the manager for the Rangers is a genius. I expect Bochy is counting on using him against the Astros and beyond once they’re past the O’s. Tight game right now this afternoon.
Come on come on 6:07pm!
ps how about Evan Carter

No comment. I’ll sound like a hater. Just look at the seasons between the championships. He’s no Joe Torre. I think he’s a very good manager but I don’t think he’s one of the greatest.

Texas bullpen looked strong today which I didn’t expect to see. I still think the Os will regroup. On to the next game! What a beautiful gorgeous October day here in the South….it’s my birthday fellas!

Who has more 1st inning homers than anyone in post season history lol. Hint he’s already done it today

I assume Jose Altuve just because he number 2 behind Manny in post season homers.

Here I sit in Seattle on a cruise ship named Bliss. Waiting to sail for Alaska. I see Bunny excited as all get up. I see Fubar ragging as usual (there’s no way you had clients as much as you hate people) I digress. I saw T-Mobile today and could care less about baseball for the next week. Y’all have fun.

Lol. Why do you think I hate people and avoid them? I’m lucky the pandemic forced me to sell my business. Have fun on your cruise. I heard Alaska cruises are incredible.

Pool picks moved to page 6 for quicker reference.

Wow, so what was i saying about the Diamondbacks again? 6-0 in the first inning and still no outs
-
I need to go back at look at post season game 1 starts with Kershaw. But, I think this is his normal type of outing. If I remember right, this isn’t his first or second time not being able to make it out of the first inning.

This is his shortest playoff outting ever, lasting 1/3 of an inning
Dodgers are finally out of it.

It’s only game 1. I’m rooting for the D-Backs, but they still have an uphill battle as long as they keep Kershaw off the mound. Admittedly, they don’t have Maeda or Kimbrel to give up runs, but they still have Graterol.
I know I picked the Dodgers, but I also picked the twins in the pool.

ASTROS…..WIN!!!!!!
