Start Friday with a 4 game day. Right off the bat you are going to see the need to end these series early because there is no rest for the wicked since Tuesday begins the DS series. I changed some picks
Out of the WC matchups… I would rank them in terms of interest as so…
1) St Louis vs Philadelphia. St. Louis has been a feel good story of a bunch of legendary Cardinals having one last hurrah. Philly finally broke their playoff drought due to the expanded playoffs. Phillies have one the most dangerous rotation in the WC round. While I’m a begrudged Cards fan I feel the end of an era is coming soon. Phils in 3
2) Toronto vs Seattle- A trendy World Series pick vs an out of nowhere team. I really don’t have a preference in this series, just that it goes to 3 games and is fun. But I’m picking the home team. Jays in 2
3) New York Mets vs San Diego- on paper it looks good, and on paper it looks very good for San Diego. However, ever since they got Soto the Friars have yet to live up to their potential. While it’s easy to say “well New York may not have anything in the tank after the Atlanta series” I think the Mets are a totally different team at home. New York will be a mad house and I think the chickens are coming home to roost on San Diego. Mets in 2
4) Cleveland vs Tampa- Probably the one with the least amount of interest because of who the teams are. But it probably has potential to be better than advertised. Cleveland has came out of nowhere to claim a division everyone picked them to finish 4th in and Tampa just lost #2 place to the jays. I say go with the hotter team and home team. Cleveland in 3
