NLCS

Los Angeles Dodgers Vs Chicago Cubs

I’m pretty shocked that the Dodgers were able to make it this far, but then again they played the Nationals in the previous round and we all know that they always love to lose in the post season, so here we are! I don’t anticipate this to be a competitive series at all because the Cubs are a far superior team compared to the Dodgers. The Cubs pitching is the best in the league and I don’t think the Dodgers batting lineup is going to have many opportunities to get on base against them. The Cubs defense is lights out too and tough to score on. Javier Baez makes some of the craziest, most un-human plays in the infield and almost nothing gets by this dude. I’m not really sold on anything about the Dodgers except for the starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw and I doubt he’s going to be able to carry this team past this stacked Cubs team!

ALCS

Toronto Blue Jays Vs Cleveland Indians

Cleveland fans must be in total shock right now! First the Cavaliers win the NBA Championship and now the Indians may bring home a World Series Championship in the same year?! The Indians dominated the Red Sox in the previous round with great pitching from the starters down to the bullpen. They were able to shut down one of the top batting lineups in the league and sent Big Papi off into retirement! The Blue Jays are something else if you ask me. I really like what this team has done throughout the season and the way they have dominated in the playoffs so far has made me even more of a believer. The Blue Jays batting lineup is tops in the league, you can’t even pitch around certain hitters because the guy behind him is also capable of getting on base and driving in runs. If any game becomes a pitcher’s duel the Blue Jays have the advantage because they have solid starting pitching, along with a really good bullpen, and I believe have a much better chance of scoring. Terry Francona is a great manager and has his team prepared for anything so it’s tough to count the Indians out, but the Blue Jays are a power house team who I believe can win it all if they continue to play like they have this season!
