Any Michael Lees around here? Let's hear your 2017 World Series matchup predictions here. Make it weird.

Cubs over Red Sox

Cubs over Red Sox

Hard not to go with either of those teams in the 2017 WS. My personal prediction is Nationals and Red Sox in the WS, with Red Sox winning WS.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Twins are a lock

 

[Gopherfan84]

The Minnesota Twins beat the Atlanta Braves in 10 innings in Game 7 to win the 2017 World Series.

Now that would be fucking nuts.

 

[Clayton]

Cardinals over Red Sox. Third time is a charm

The OP did ask for weird.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Giants reverse the even year trend and start a trend of winning in odd years.

Giants sweep the Red Sox.

 

[JohnU]

I think the Marlins will do what they have always done ... win the W.S. out of the wild card, and then they will be 44-118 the following year. Miami will beat Houston in 4 straight.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Dbacks over Red Sox (I've made this prediction 5 straight years)

Oh, it was good.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Reds over the Blue Jays in 5.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Be pretty embarrassing for the Red Sox not to win the World Series

But I think the Encarcion signing may put Cleveland on even footing with them

 

[Eugene Baker III]

Dodgers over Red Sox

Eh, he's no Manny Ortiz.

Does anyone know the story behind the parrot arm trot he does?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

One thing about the Sox lineup, there are potentially some question marks in a lot of spots

Losing Papi obviously a huge blow

Pedroia and Hanley getting up there, can age/injuries affect them this season ?

The catcher position is not a strong one offensively

Mitch Moreland at 1st base? decent, nothing that scares ya

Pable Sandoval back at 3rd? Eh

I know Bennedittii has been ticketed for Cooperstown already, is it possible he has some rookie struggles?


I would take Boegarts and Betts to the bank, but there are some other issues there possibly

Bradley Jr. is pretty good.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Bradley Jr. is pretty good.

He is, and Id lean more towards him being a lock to be very good

But after a torrid month or 2 last season, and declined rapidly

And his career up until last season, was well falling well below expectations

So I guess this season should be a good indictor if he is that player from a few months last season, or the rest of his career
