Arrietta vs Cole tonight in the Cubs/Pirates game.....lets call the over/under for tonights game at 4 runs....

I'm taking the Cubs for tonight, and combined score over 4
 
I think its a crap shoot really but also I think the Astros got a good matchup with the Royals in the first round. I pick the Astros because they really really need a deep postseason run to get fans back after being bad for so long. Cubs just because I want the Back to the Future prediction to be accurate. They are a literal team of destiny.

Not 100% on the Yanks going after another high dollar guy after Sabbathia. Of course the first few years of his deal were good, but the back end has been a disaster

and it doesn't matter at all really

they will take the terrible back end to get the great results on the front end

I gotta give the edge to the Royals in this case. Astros just used their ace on 3 days rest, and they are very home run dependent on the offense. Royals find ways to manufacture runs, have fully rested pitchers, and have the unstoppable Johnny Gomes

The only thing I will say about that is years like this I don't mind it as much. NL Central had the 3 best teams in baseball. In years past the Cubs would of been left out which would of sucked. At least now they have a shot.
 
Sure, but the two worst records should play in the play-in game.

Ideally, and shouldn't be a one-and-done at all, but if we're married to that format, it's bull**** that two teams with better records than anyone else should be playing in it.

Also the Yankees haven't been the crazy big spenders lately. They'll sign one of the top guys, but it's been a while since they signed the top guy. Zobrist I see going to them though. I think I predicted it in my offseason thread.

I hear you. And I don't doubt they make a run at him. I just don't see him going there.

Oh I agree. It's not what I would do for sure. But compared to past systems where those 2 teams could potentially not even have a shot it's not that bad.
