Picking Oakland to beat the Angels, interesting. I stopped giving a fuck about MLB when the Braves started sucking (not too long after the trade deadline) so my information is dated... we'll see |

Quoted:
AL WC: Royals (A's are on a terrible slide) ALDS 1: Royals over Angels (Angels have key injuries and Royals are well built for the post season) ALDS 2: Tigers over Orioles (O's are middle of the pack offense with lots of homers facing top offense in baseball and team who gave up second fewest homers in the AL) ALCS: Tigers over Royals (Tigers were 13-6 against KC) NL WC: Giants (Russell Marin out is a HUGE loss for Pittsburgh) NLDS 1: Nats over Giants (Nats have the best rotation in the game) NLDS 2: Cards over Dodgers (The Cards pitch better up and down the rotation) NLCS: Nats over Cards (Nats have the best rotation in the game) World Series: Tigers over Nats (AL home field advantage, strong post season rotation and the Tigers win when it matters most) View Quote Rules man... Your picks are like a soup sandwich anyway. How is a team that can barely win the division over KC going to beat a team leading the league in HRs. O's pitching is underrated, they don't have any Cy Young pitchers but they have a few decent starters and a solid bullpen. |

http://i62.tinypic.com/el5ulk.jpg It's tricky. Orioles have better numbers, but Detroit's big name rotation would make anyone nervous. Anything can happen in the WC games. View Quote I agree with this EXCEPT the Nationals take the World Series. |

Do you even watch baseball? The Orioles cannot score runs unless they hit a homer. 47% of their runs came off of home runs. That is insane dependence on home runs. The Tigers pitching is 14 th in the AL in home runs allowed. The gave up 127 home runs all season. 1 more than the Angels. When a team that doesn't score runs without hitting a homer meets a team that doesn't give up homers, the team that doesn't score runs without hitting a homer will loose. Conversely, the Tigers can hit homers, the can hit doubles, the ca steal bases, they have great situational hitting and despite being middle of the pack in homers they were the second best scoring team in baseball. 3. Barely winning your division is irrelevant in the post season, as is barely winning the division over KC. The 2006 Tigers were a wild card and they went to the World Series. The 2011 Cards made the post season on the last day of the season and won the World Series. The 2012 Tigers were 88 game winners and barely won their division, and went to the World Series. As for barely winning the division against KC is not a knock, since KC won the top WC slot. |

But I don't see it happening. The O's are a good team, but I don't see their team as having what it takes in the post season. In the post season you need good pitching (starters=advantage Tigers, bullpen=advantage Orioles), Defense (advantage Orioles, but the Tigers are solid, particularly up the middle) and the ability to manufacture runs (strong advantage Tigers). Keep in mind also that the Orioles played in the weakest division in the AL. There was no other team in the AL East who won 85 games. The AL Central had two other teams who won 85 or more games and so did the AL West. Now, obviously anything can (and almost certainly will) happen in the post season. The regular season results mean very little actually. But, based on the numbers and based on the way the teams are built, I see the Tigers winning this series. I could be wrong, and we'll see.

There's no way the Royals are going to beat Lester tonight. Dude was 2-0 in last years World Series, he knows how to pitch in these big games.

Royals have two opponents tonight, the A's and inexperience. The few innings will tell us what is going to happen, if the Royals look off, making errors, or just not making plays than they are toast. Otherwise should be a great game. I predict A's win 2-1.

Well, this game is over. KC is fucked.
Lester is too good for KC. Their only hope was scratching out a run or two and Shields shutting the A's down. With Lester getting the lead, KC's offense just doesn't have that one swing of the bat guy.
