I think Braves/Indians are 3 seeds not 5. If either gets the WC winner in the LCS I think they get Homefield.

I'm just gonna say this, having the 2 ties made the NL playoffs so much better.

It became double elimination rather than one game take all to make the divisional round.

Absolutely fantastic result.

These were my picks before yesterday's games, as well as other predictions.

++++++++++++++

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs Play-In Game

The Brewers have made every move possible to make their roster as strong as possible.

Aguilar hits a HR, and Lorenzo Cain makes a diving catch.

Brewers Win.


Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Play-In Game:

The Rockies started the year with a pretty good bullpen.

Then they started having troubles.

The Rockies also had trouble scoring.

Then the past few weeks, they started scoring again.

However, Buehler on the Dodgers looks good, and so does their lineup.

Dodgers Win.


Oakland A's vs. New York Yankees Wild Card Game:

The A's have a great bullpen. They have also gotten great seasons from starters.

Matt Chapman and Stephen Piscotty have also been good.

The Yankees have had a great year from Miguel Andujar, and Luke Voit has had a good recent stretch.

I'll go with the A's, even though I don't know their starter yet. If it's someone I don't have much confidence in, then I'll change the pick.

Their bullpen, if used a lot in the wild card game, will presumably be good to watch.

Oakland A's win.

Colorado Rockies vs. Chicago Cubs Wild Card Game:

Right now, I'm also feeling good about Blackmon, Story, and Arenado. The game will be close, but I think the Rockies have the better lineup, and their pitching seems to be back on track right now.

I don't know much about Kyle Freeland on the Rockies.

Ottavino and Oh are the Rockies best relievers.

Rockies Win.

It appears the A's are using an "opener" in Liam Hendriks. I'm not sure what to think about that, but I'll keep an open mind.

I wouldn't mind if they used Yusmiero Petit in the middle of the game, if necessary.

Rockies SP Kyle Freeland grew up a Rockies fan when he was a kid.

Cool story, because the Rockies probably don't have many players in their history that grew up in the area.

I can't watch most weekday playoffs games live.

I'll be watching the AL Wild Card game on the DVR.

I'll be having a brown ale with 18.53% ABV. Obviously I need to make that last the whole game. I can't finish that in only a few innings.

I'll compromise. After the wildcard games then teams are seeded 1-4 by W-L record. Deal?
NL

NLDS
(1)MIL (96-67) vs (4)ATL (90-72)
(2)LAD (92-71) vs (3)COL (91-72)

AL
Wildcard
OAK (97-65) @ NYY (100-62)

ALDS (if NYY wins)
(1)BOS (108-54) vs (4)CLE (91-71)
(2)HOU (103-59) vs (3)NYY (100-62)

ALDS (if OAK wins)
(1)BOS (108-54) vs (4)CLE (91-71)
(2)HOU (103-59) vs (3)OAK (97-65)

The # 1 seed always faces the wild card winner. So it's Brewers vs. Rockies.
