MLB Playoffs Start next week

[chickendude]

Its that time of year, MLB playoffs are starting next week and its down to crunch time in the regular season.

The wild card races in both leagues are tight, so who's going to make it into the playoffs?

What are your picks?
Here are a list of contenders in each div.
AL East: RedSox, Yankees
AL Central: White Sox, Indians(by a long shot)
AL West: Angels, Athletics
AL WildCard: Yankees, Indians, Angels, Athletics, Red Sox
NL East: Braves (maybe Marlins or Astros, but unlikely)
NL Central: Cardinals (another blowout)
NL West: Ok this whole division sucks, Padres, Giants
NL WildCard: Marlins, Astros, Phillies

Pretty much everyone else has low chances of getting in

Here are mine:

American League
East: Boston Red Sox
Central: Chicago White Sox
West: Oakland Athletics
Wild Card: New York Yankees

National League
East: Braves
Central: Cardinals (dur hur)
West: Padres (this division sucks ass <_<)
Wild Card: Marlins

Who do you think is going to the top?
If I had to pick one, I would go with the Cardinals. They are just too good at everything <_<

So post your picks, opinions, anything good like that

EDIT: Topic title change =-o. We're down to the last week of the season and its going to be exciting.

RE: MLB Playoffs rolling in soon

The A's have come out of nowhere to be awesome
I still remember when they were like 15 games under 500 and then they won like 35/42

I stopped caring about these playoffs once the Rangers pretty much dropped out of the race.

Now all I care about is them breaking the home run record.

Copied from my friend's profile:

Daily Texas Rangers' Home Run Count
Total: 246
Avg: 1.662 per game

18 less than the record for a season
14 games left in the season
1.286 per game needed to break record

Texas is going to roadkill that record, I think

Reminding me
some more fun stuff, who do you think is going to be on top in
RBIs, HomeRuns, Batting Average, ERA, wins
all that fun stuff

my picks (out of the top of my head)
AL
RBIs - David Ortiz
HomeRuns - Alex Rodriguez
Batting Average - Michael Young
E.R.A - whoa I don't remember this one.. Mark Burhle?
Wins - Bartolo Colon

NL
RBI - Andruw Jones
HR - Andruw Jones
BA - Albert Pujols
ERA - Roger Clemens
Wins - Chris Carpenter

I think Boston will take the AL East, and as a result, Clevelnd will take the Wild Card because the final three games in Boston will cost New York just enough ground to knock them out.

Chicago's slipping but I don't see them losing the division just yet.

AL West is Anaheim's to lose right now, and I don't think they will now that Garrett Anderson's back.

Braves and Cardinals are locks. I don't care how well the Marlins have been playing, it'll only get them the Wild Card.

Houston will win the NL West simply because no team actually in it deserves to go anywhere.

RE: MLB Playoffs rolling in soon

Houston is in the central

the NL west just sucks ass
San Diego Padres are in 1st with a record of - 72W-74L
LA Dodgers 5GB
SF Giants 6GB
Arizona Diamondbacks 6.5 GB
Colorado Rockies 12.5 GB

the division is plain terrible

Chicago has been letting up, but I still think they will make the playoffs
Boston and NewYork are a toss up in the east, but I'm going to go with Boston
WildCard is gonna be RedSox/Yankees or Indians/WhiteSox

Oakland/LA are too far back in the wild card, but I like Oakland to win the west

I think both sox will win their divisions and wildcard will be yankees vs indians
so its a throw up there. Indians have the lead, but they get to play the royals like 6 more times before the season ends. Whereas the yankees have a tough schedule (in comparison)
but the yankees always pull something out of their butt so you never know

Atlanta and St. Louis are locks like kilga said
NL West is pathetic, I'm not even going to conjecture who sucks the least there

Wild Card is tight between philly florida and houston (I guess you cold throw in Washington)
Its too close to call right now, but I still like Florida

RE: MLB Playoffs rolling in soon

RBIs - David Ortiz

I'm going with Mark Teixeira on this one. He passed Ortiz a week or two ago. I don't know what the standings are now, but their numbers are enormous.

Oh, and go Houston. Get at least one of our teams in the playoffs.
