Start if off with your predictions. Here's mine:

N.L. Wild Card Game: Cubs over Pirates

NLDS: Cubs over Cardinals, Dodgers over Mets

NLCS: Dodgers over Cubs

A.L. Wild Card Game: Yankees over Astros

ALDS: Royals over Yankees, Blue Jays over Rangers

ALCS: Royals over Blue Jays

World Series: Royals over Dodgers
 
Losing Holland is a blow for the Royals, but that team really has the look. The Zobrist pick-up was solid. A lot of positional flexibility and their young hitters have finally developed.

Should be an interesting post-season. Curious to see if the big slugging teams (Astros, Blue Jays) will do well.
 
Prediction: I will watch probably less than 9 innings until the World Series.

NLWC: Cubs
NLDS: Cubs and Dodgers
NLCS: Dodgers

ALWC: Astros
ALDS: Royals and Blue Jays
ALCS: Royals

Dodgers over Royals

Cubs don't advance very far IMO.. they K way too much to be much of a threat in a short series. I see the Cards or Pirates winning the NL this year. AL, I don't care because I know nothing about those teams per se.

I still think the Pirates are the most COMPLETE team in it this year, so it's sad that one bad game against a stud like Arrieta could take them out.

BUT, I'm going to go with Toronto over Mets ;)
 
Pirates/Cubs both have really good squads, shame both have to play in the Selig game.

Arrieta has been pretty much unhittable but never know what can happen in a one-game setting.

Remember when Medlen was pretty much unhittable in 2012 and failed to show up against the Cardinals in our Selig game?

Not near the same.

Arrieta has a 1.77 ERA across 30+ starts, and has an ERA under 1 in his last 10-12 starts. He's given up 7 runs total in his last 12 starts.

He's been pretty much unhittable.

But somewhat similar in a sense, Arrieta has better swing/miss stuff than Medlen.

It's easy to forget how dominant Medlen was. In 19 appearances including 12 starts post all star break in 2012, Medlen has a 0.94 ERA and 0.821 WHIP along with 95/14 SO/BB ratio. Arrieta has been better, sure, but during that stretch off half a season, there weren't many who were better than Medlen, EVER.

Medlen also had a great second half in 2013 which was why he was #1 in the NLDS.

And he proceeded to give up 5 runs and 9 hits in 4 IP in game 1 lol

Interestingly, in the 2012 WC game, he pitched 6.1 innings and only allowed 3 hits, but allowed 5 runs (2 earned). Talk about bad luck
 
Yeah, Chipper's error in that game really turned the game around.

Don't forget, Medlen struck out the side both games in the first inning. I remember such hype after he struck out the Cards (a HBP but all 3 outs were K's), and then he did the same against Dodgers. Both games turned out to be miserable though.

I'll never forget man, made the trip down to the game spur of the moment and it was my first ever trip to Turner Field. Wish it turned out differently but don't regret that trip at all
