October is rolling around, and my Chicago Cubs are looking great. Those bats are about to start cracking, gloves will start popping, and those fastballs are going to smell as sweet as ever. Oh yeah, my little Bill Walton is cheering inside. Just switch out Wrigley for Berkley.
Though I am a National League based fan, I will make predictions for the American League as well. Also, I will do it because I want to.
NOTE: This is a movie based blog, but I'm making an exception.
American League Playoffs
Angels v Red Sox=Red Sox (in 5 games)
Can you smell the bloodbath brewing between these two? I can, and it's going to get nasty. The Red Sox, are who they are, and that's a powerhouse. The Angels are good as well, but the Red Sox are the red demons of baseball, and they are out to collect.
Rays v Twins=Rays (in 3 games)
The Twins are no match for a fully fueled Rays team, and that's an understatement. The Twins will be making the playoff's by the skin of their teeth, and once again, that's an understatement. Look for these two teams to have a short meeting in the playoffs.
National League Playoffs
Cubs v Dodgers=Cubs (in 4 games)
The Dodgers lineup will kill themselves. The pitching from both sides will be playoff caliber, and that's what the series will depend on. Don't expect the Dodgers to put up a fight against the best starting rotation in baseball, case in point: Dempster, Zambrano, Harden. The Cubs will hold it down on offense, scoring an average of four runs per game to keep it in check.
Phillies v Brewers=Phillies (in 3 games)
The Phillies are out for blood againts the Brewers, who's pitching is horrifying, except for Sabbathia. Even C.C. can only pitch a game at a time, and they'll still be riding him until his arm falls off anyways.
