Playoff predictions

 I figured I would get this post done before the playoffs start. Here are my predictions for the playoffs this year. 

Rays vs. Rangers

I think the Rays can win this one in 3 games. They will probably have a game with no offense (probably Glasnow’s start), but Eflin will be money, and they will walk off the other game. 

Blue Jays vs. Twins

Jays have more offense and better pitching. 2 game sweep. 

Brewers vs. D-Backs

Brewers will lose the game Gallen starts against them, but Arizona is young and Milwaukee has playoff experience. 

Marlins vs. Phillies

Phillies are winning this one in a sweep, but only because it’s against the Marlins. They are still a fluke team. 

Rays vs. Orioles

The Rat-Birds pitching will finally be exposed as overrated and Playoff Randy comes out. Rays in 5 in a blowout final game. 

Jays vs. Astros

Astros bats come alive and Toronto shows how they still need starting pitching. Astros in 4. 

Dodgers vs. Brewers

Dodgers sweep this one easy. If Burnes weren’t pitching for Milwaukee, they would’ve knocked out all 3 Brewers starters before 4 innings

Braves vs. Phillies

Braves blow out Phillies in 3 with Acuna hitting 3 Bombs in Game 2

Rays vs. Astros

The Rays carriage finally turns into a pumpkin as the Astros win in 5. 

Dodgers vs. Braves

Braves win a tight series in 6 games but it will feel like it was a lot closer and should’ve went 7. 

Braves vs. Astros

The Braves win the World Series over the Astros and we’re actually the better team this time around. In a 5 game series, Olson will hit 4 HRs and in the MVP. 

There you go. Just keep in mind, had the Rays not lost 3/5 of their rotation and guys like Franco for the season, Tampa Bay would’ve taken the AL for a spin and given the Bravos a run for their money and it would’ve probably been a 7 game World Series that could’ve swung either way. 

Thanks for checking out my latest post.
