MLB Playoff Preview and Predictions

I haven't really talked about baseball much on this blog because my Stros had a very forgettable season, with the exceptions of the beginning of Hunter Pence's career and the retirement of Craig Biggio. However, October is here and that means playoffs. After a turbulent few weeks with teams jockeying for playoff spots, the Phillies and Rockies are entering the postseason on sensational hot streaks, with the Phils swiping the NL East from the Mets (or the Mets choking it away - all depending on what fanbase you belong to) and the Rockies winning a one-game playoff against the Padres to take the NL Wild Card. The 8 teams that are in are the Red Sox, Yankees, Indians and Angels in the AL and the Phillies, Cubs, Diamondbacks and Rockies [Ed. note - I guessed correctly on 5 of the 8 teams missing the Rockies, Cubs and Phillies]. Each team has a good story and the playoffs should give us some dramatic occurrences. Of course, due to the victory in the All-Star Game, the American League will again have home-field advantage.

Judz' expert predictions
Divisional Series:
Indians over Yankees in 5

Phils over Rockies in 3

League Championship Series:

World Series:
