2014 ALCS & NLCS Predictions



Division Series Record (1-3)

2014 MLB ALCS & NLCS Predictions

ALCS

Kansas City Royals Vs Baltimore Orioles

Who would have thought that this was going to be the matchup in The ALCS at the beginning of the season? It’s nice to see some new teams up in this bitch! This is going to be a fun matchup to watch, The Orioles are a team that wins with Homeruns and The Royals are more of a small ball team, neither team is really going to dominate you with their pitching. Where I think this matchup will be won will be with the Managers, Buck Showalter is a great manager who is not afraid to take risks and knows how to make the tough decisions when under pressure. Ned Yost is a pussy, truthfully this dude is lucky his team is really good because he has made some questionable decisions and luckily they have not cost them because the rest of the team still steps it up. That will usually catch up to in the playoffs, especially when you’re going up against a team like The Orioles who will take advantage and pounce on any weakness that you have! If you give their lineup an inch they will take a mile and run with it, the batting lineup can get out of hand and I don’t think a manager as soft as Yost will be able to handle it!

NLCS 

San Francisco Giants Vs St. Louis Cardinals

Ever since Bruce Bochy has taken over The Giants as their Manager The Giants have finally learned how to win when it matters the most. Growing up The Giants were an awful team and the years they were actually good they would choke in the playoffs, so I grew to have very low expectations for them, but Bochy has changed all of that. Now when The Giants are in the postseason they are a legitimate contender and usually dominate opponents. The Cardinals seem to always be in the hunt no matter who is on their team, even if it’s the nobody squad like this season. Both of these teams are equally matched so this should be a fun series to watch, but like I said before these days The Giants get into the playoffs and all of a sudden they get on a tear and just know how to win. The pitching has stepped it up so far and really dominated their opponents, and the batting lineup has been able to get the critical hits and runs to win the close matchups. I mean is there really even a question on who I’m taking in this matchup??
