Playoff Predictions -- If They Started Today?

Mr. Baseball · 07-31-2014, 05:58 PM

If the playoffs started today. It would look like this...

National League
NL Wild Card: Atlanta vs San Francisco -- Winner plays Los Angeles.

Other Matchup: Washington vs Milwaukee (Milwaukee homefield advantage)

American League
AL Wild Card: Toronto @ Los Angeles -- Winner plays Oakland

Other Matchup: Detroit vs Baltimore (Baltimore homefield advantage)

How would you predict this to play out, if this was the playoff pool?

I have Detroit and Milwaukee in the world series. But I'm bias.

Wild Card - San Francisco over Atlanta, Los Angeles over Toronto

Division Series - Los Angeles over San Francisco, Washington over Milwaukee, Oakland over Los Angeles, Detroit over Baltimore

Championship Series - Washington over Los Angeles, Oakland over Detroit

World Series - Oakland over Washington (4 games)

I think Oakland will be VERY tough to beat with the rotation they've assembled.

I hope you're right, CJ.

Your discounting St. Louis, don't count them out just yet.

Airdrop01 · 07-31-2014, 11:02 PM

The question is way way premature.

Oakland vs Baltimore & SF vs Milwaukee...
W.S= Oakland vs SF ( Bay Area series two)

paul.m.w. · 07-31-2014, 11:25 PM

But the reds will make a comeback so... Really a mute point . Just a big what if.(?)
Which I like

I see the Cardinals, Pirates, and maybe even the Reds finishing ahead of the Flukers.

Atl v. SF: Close one, Atlanta pulls it off, but then get knocked off by the Dodgers. That said, it is especially randomized though these days since WC is a 1-game series. Any given team on any given day can win...and when you have two teams pretty closely matched like Atl & SF, it is even more true. Wish it were a best of 3 series at least instead...but hey, that's what OOTP edits are for, right?

That said, if Atl and Wash both made it to the NLCS, then Atl would win; they have dominated over the Nationals all season long.

Wash v. Mil -- Milwaukee would likely pull it out.

I don't follow the AL anywhere near as close, but I believe it will be Oakland and Baltimore in the ALCS...and probably Oakland in the WS.

San Francisco might get into the wildcard but then gets decimated by LA. They are just old and beat up ...
