ALDS
Oakland A's vs Detroit
Tigers
First
off I gotta start this by saying congratulations to Miguel Cabrera on
winning the first triple crown title since the 60's! I'm glad I got
to finally see somebody achieve this in my lifetime and I don't hate
the guy either, I feel like he is one of the best players in the
league and has been since the day he came up from the minor leagues.
The Tigers have really stepped it up the last couple of months to
overtake their division and get into the playoffs. They have one of
the best pitchers in the league, Justin Verlander, a great closer and
a killer batting lineup. The A's have been the surprise team of the
season, they fought hard to win their division on the last day of the
regular season, which was extremely impressive because they were 13
games back at one point. I like the way The A's play, they are a
gutsy team that aren't afraid to take chances. I think in this
matchup though The Tigers have the edge, I think overall they are a
much better team, but this should be a great series!
Tigers over A's 5 games
Baltimore Orioles Vs
New York Yankees
The
Orioles have been another one of the surprise teams of the season.
Their pitching has stepped it up and their batting lineup has been on
fire all season. The Yankees have also had a good season, they have
had to overcome a lot of injuries this year and played well through
them. The Yankees lineup broke a Yankees team record by hitting the
most homeruns in one season, that says a lot since they have had some
great lineups in the past. Their pitching isn't great, but its not
terrible, it has got them by all season long and as of right now all
of the pitchers are healthy. These two teams obviously know
eachother well since they're in the same division so it should be a
fun series to watch, but in the end I think The Yankees will take the
series.

NLDS
Cincinnati Reds Vs San
Francisco Giants
This
is going to be another great matchup to watch, both teams are
identical to eachother, they have solid pitching and strong batting
lineups. I feel like whoever wins this series will be going to The
World Series. I was afraid The Giants might choke once Melky Cabrera
got suspended, but I think it actually made the rest of the squad
better to prove that Melky was not their only big play maker in the
lineup. Buster Posey has come back strong after breaking his ankle
last season and led the NL in batting average and even though Tim
Lincecum has had a terrible season the rest of the starting pitching
are pitching lights out! Even the bullpen has stepped it up with no
Brian Wilson and the addition of Hunter Pence has been a huge boost
to the offense. The Reds have also had a great year led by Johnny
Cueto who has literally had the best season of his career and The
Reds have also overcome adversity with all their injuries throughout
the season. This is going to be a tough matchup for both teams but I
think The Giants will come out on top just because hello I am a
Giants fan!

St. Louis Cardinals Vs
Washington Nationals
Well
The Cardinals are steaming into the playoffs exactly like they did
last year when they won it all! This team is once again a huge threat
in the playoffs. I think The Nationals are making the biggest mistake
ever by shuting down Steven Strasburg because they're afraid he might
get hurt again! That is weak as fuck to not only the player but to
the fans. This is baseball guys get hurt if you don't like it then
get out of the game! No wonder why these morons haven't won shit! If
Strasburg were to still be pitching in the playoffs I would consider
them the most dangerous team in the playoffs, but since he is not I
actually have a feeling they will be one and done. They had a great
season outside of Strasburg, but I think The Cardinals veteran
experience will outweight The Nationals entire team.
Cardinals over
Nationals 4 games
