Medlen's about as hot as you can get right now. 2. Atlanta will certainly be focused after last years' collapse led to a Cardinal WS win.)
AL Divisional Round- Detroit over Oakland (Verlander/Scherzer will be too much) AL Divisional Round- Texas over New York (I don't trust anyone other than Sabathia to keep the Rangers offense down)
NL Divisional Round- San Francisco over Cincinnati (Cain/Bumgarner will take advantage of a swing and miss Cincy lineup) NL Divisional Round- Washington over Atlanta (Slight edge to Atlanta's pitching, but Washington, with Davey on the bench will end Chippers' career)
ALCS- Detroit over Texas- Verlander/Scherzer combo is an overwhelming favorite over the Rangers in matchups NLCS- San Francisco over Washington- Going with Cain/Bumgarner combo here. Washington's dream season ends up just short
World Series- Detroit over San Francisco. Both teams are here on the strength of their pitching, but the 3/4 combo of Cabrera/Fielder puts the Tigers over the top.
I got in too late for the wildcards but going forward I see it: Det over Oak Balt over NYY
Det over Bal .............. Wash over STL Cin over SF
Cin over Wash .............. Det over Cin
61* 70**73**762*** MVP****AL07,AL05,NL04,ALNL03,ALNL02,NL01,ALNL00,AL99,ALNL98,ALNL96 RIP Cammi Cmon Bud NOW is the time to sack up and force feed an Olympic style drug testing program down Fehr's fat throat and save OUR game from these blatant cheaters!
I'm late to the party but it doesn't matter that much. I'll go with STL over DET because those are my two least favorite teams and the playoffs always seem to end up in a situation I just hate.
I'm late too but I would have gone with DET vs SF with SF losing in game 7 when Lincecum blows it in relief
