...which means the World Series is going to be between the Mets and the Indians.

As the playoffs and the teams who are in get more clear who does everyone like?

I do like the Sox.  But, shit. They are streaky and you never know what you'll get out of Price.  The offense will hammer you into submission for eight games in a row and then vanish for three - those are the games they really need pitching; they really haven't gotten it CONSISTENLY out of anyone other than Porcello.

Texas deserves a medal, hug and a cuddle for the magic show they've pulled off.

IF Toronto gets it, don't sleep on them. 

Clearly, all eyes are on the north side.  I think they are going to have a REALLY hard time with the Mets. 

And I think Cleveland will be a really, really tough out. 

Basically, I have no freaking clue.  What about you?

I think the Cubs are going to struggle with everyone in the National league playoffs.

Lester,and Hendricks I think will be good.I have less faith in Arrieta,Lackey have been up and down recently.The Bullpen still has a lot of shakiness getting to Chapman.Offensively RISP has been been a problem.

Ultimately the Dodgers will take us out...

OR

I think the Cardinals will beat us (If they make it),like we did to them last year.

The Cubs got off to such a fast start they haven't played a pressure filled baseball game all year. What they started 22-5 or something close to that. They haven't had a "big game" or a "pressure game" or "pressure moment" all season.

I could see them totally choking and going out early in the playoffs when they are finally in a pressure moment/big game. I hope not, I want to see this curse end in my lifetime. But it wouldn't shock me at all.  They have been coasting since April, never had a big inning. A big spot. Or a pressure filled game.

My preseason WS pick was Cubs-Astros, so hopefully I'll get at least half of that right.

Well, if any team experiences a roster-wide gonorrhea epidemic and is forced to forfeit their playoff match-up, I hope it is the Dodgers......  Wink Wink

I really haven't followed baseball much this season; so just from the team histories I'd like to see either the Cubs or Indians win.

Cubs roll through the playoffs...Addison Russell becomes the youngest World Series MVP ever.

I drafted Addison in my local keeper league three years ago, before Chicago traded for him. Arguably my favorite non-Padres player out there (though Boynton Beach's own Trea Turner (my "other" keeper) is close

I see Addison as a young Derek Jeter...he's only going to get better over the next 4-5 years.

Sad to see Big Papi walk to the mound for a final time.  He cried all the way

I think it will be very hard for the Cubs to bounce back from that Game 3 loss.

That was a game they should have won.

It's the same story for all of their last few postseason appearances.  The offense disappears.  The only significant production they have been getting is from their pitching.

I normally root for the Red Sox, but when they are eliminated I root for the Cubs out of sympathy.

Their fans have it worse than we do as Dolphins fans.

I'm happy that the Tribe finally exorcised their demons with the Red Sox.

I think the Cubs are definitely feeling the pressure of playoffs past.

I wonder how much that affects a team.

I think the Dolphins go through the same thing.
