So just for fun for my fellow Red Sox fans or MLB fans in general, what are your quick predictions for what happens in the postseason? Here's mine:
AL Wild Card: Yankees > Twins (4-2 score)
NL Wild Card: Diamondbacks > Rockies (6-2 score)
ALDS: Red Sox > Astros in 5 games (being optimistic here)
ALDS: Indians > Yankees in 5 games
NLDS: Nationals > Cubs in 5 games
NLDS: Dodgers > Diamondbacks in 4 games
ALCS: Indians > Red Sox in 5 games
NLCS: Nationals > Dodgers in 7 games
World Series: Indians > Nationals in 6 games
WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS: Cleveland Indians
Terry Francona wins a World Series with Boston (2004, 2007) AND Cleveland.
Now I'll admit, I wouldn't be surprised if Houston beats Boston in 4-5 games, but I'll be optimistic and say Boston wins, before losing to Cleveland in 5 games in the ALCS. Washington takes their revenge on the Dodgers and beats them in 7 games (after Dodgers beat them in 7 games last year's playoffs), and World Series will be really good with CLE ending their drought and finishing what they couldn't last year (no blown lead either LOL).
What do you guys think? (This will probably all end up wrong since baseball is just so unpredictable - probably the most unpredictable major sport out there in terms of playoffs - literally anything can happen)
