I was almost 4/4 on predictions. I would've had it if the White Sox hadn't blown a 2-0 series lead.

Some fans have complained about the playoff format in recent years, claiming the teams with the 1st round bye are at a disadvantage. They'll say something like they get rusty with 5 days off, while their opponents stay fresh, stay in a rhythm from the wild card series. Blah blah blah. I've never agreed with this argument. And this year, that argument can be put aside. We're down to the final four teams, and all four were the teams with 1st round byes. I think there is a problem with the playoff format but 1st round byes isn't it. Like I've said, the big problem with the playoff format is how it allowed an 85-win club to earn a 1st round bye, and get an 84 win club or an 81-win club as their opponent. Nevertheless, the Guardians are in the ALCS. Do they belong? Are they actually good? Can they beat the Rays?

Rays-Guardians - For sure, they can beat the Rays. Anything can happen in October. However, I wouldn't bet on it. The Rays are simply better on paper. They have depth, and no glaring weaknesses. Cleveland on the other hand, doesn't have a true slugger. It's cool they win with small ball, but they'll need a ton of small ball against Rays pitching, who just held the mighty Yankees lineup to 5 runs in 3 games. This just seems like a mismatch. Rays in 5.

Brewers-Dodgers - The last time the NLCS was a rematch of the previous year, it also involved the Dodgers...and they lost. After LA beat Atlanta in 2020, and won the WS, Atlanta avenged by beating LA in 2021, and also went on to win the WS. That doesn't matter though, I just found it interesting. I'm still predicting the Dodgers here because they are proven winners, and the Brewers are proven chokers. Beyond that however, I also think the Brewers starting pitching is vulnerable. Misiorowski and Henderson are very good, no doubt, but they're also inexperienced at this stage. And who are their reliable #3 and #4 starters? The Dodgers have Snell, Skubal, Yamamoto, and Glasnow. It doesn't matter which order they pitch in, by games 3 and 4, LA's depth will take over. For Milwaukee to win, they're gonna need their bats to score early and often, and hope Misiorowski and Henderson rise to the challenge. If they can do that and get leads, their bullpen can shut it down. It can be a fun, back-and-forth series. Either team can win. But again, I'm going with the Dodgers, in 6.

I'm looking at who's left in the AL... and this is it? Reminds me of how terrible the M's really were this year. And yes the Rays should definitely be playing the White Sox this round.

Anyways I think whoever wins the NL will probably win it all, head goes for the Braves while heart is with the Brew Crew. A Brewers-White Sox Metra WS would be fun, but very unlikely.

3/4 on predictions. Correctly called the Braves, Padres, and White Sox. The one I missed was the Red Sox, who I thought could overcome NY's lineup injuries, and yet NY beat them by a combined score of 18-2. Yikes. I couldn't have been more wrong. I'm disappointed the Phillies lost, but we started the year horribly, 10 games under .500, had to fire the manager. Painter had to go to the minors and Nola's ERA was over 6. But we rebounded and proved to be a playoff-worthy team. We cooled off down the stretch, recovered in time to secure a wild card, and gave the Braves a fight. So all in all, not bad. Hopefully we'll be better next year.

Now for the next round:

Brewers-Padres - This may be the most interesting series this round. Two teams who have never won, and believe this could be their year. And both are coming in hot. Brewers are 15-3 over their last 18. Padres are 19-3 over their last 22. Top-to-bottom, Milwaukee is better, for that matter they were the best regular season team in all of MLB...yet that doesn't always translate to playoff success, and they are notorious chokers in the playoffs. They're like the Buffalo Bills of MLB. This is such a tough one to predict. I think Milwaukee has the advantage in overall roster strength, and management. San Diego has the star power and more experience. I guess I'll go with the Brewers but I'm not confident.

Dodgers-Braves - Gotta go with the Dodgers until proven otherwise. They've won two straight World Series after all. Although they seem a little vulnerable. A couple players have been dealing with minor injuries and/or not performing to expectations. The bullpen hasn't always been great. Nevertheless, LA's star power outclasses Atlanta. Ohtani, Skubal, Freeman, Yamamoto, Betts, Snell...if LA's studs play well, Atlanta won't be able to keep up. Of course, the Braves are a very good, well-balanced team. They can win this if they catch the Dodgers off guard, rusty after 5 days off. Still, again, Dodgers until proven otherwise. And yes, with the Phillies gone, I have to turn my rooting interests to my 2nd team, my home city's team. It'd be sweet to see them do what Philly could not, knock out the goddam Braves!

Rays-Yankees - The Rays are like the Brewers of the American league. Best overall record, small market team that consistently puts a winning roster on the field for years that lacks star power...and unfortunately have a tendency to prematurely lose in the playoffs. The Rays haven't won a playoff series since 2020 despite reaching the playoffs three times since. The Yankees always seem to play well in October and are good for winning 1-2 playoff rounds every time they reach. They have bigger stars on their team. This all points to a Yankees win over Tampa. Still, I'm gonna predict Tampa. Maybe it's my Yankee-hating-small-market-loving heart that wants the Rays to win. But they are capable. They went 7-6 against NY in the regular season, have an amazing home record, and are well-rested. Why not the Rays?

Guardians-White Sox - Could go either way, but I'll say the White Sox. They seem more balanced. Again, I don't like this match-up and think MLB should change the playoff format. Maybe seedings should be based purely on record (NBA), or they should re-seed between the 1st and 2nd rounds (NFL). The Rays had the best record in the AL, their reward should be playing the lower seed. Instead they're playing the 2nd best record in the AL, while these two mid-80 win teams play for a spot in the final 4. Not fair.

The animosity towards Arenado runs deep, haha. I would like to thank the Phillies for eliminating the Diamondbacks simply because the Phillies are my team! They made it tough on themselves and the fans by losing four straight, but they finally clinched on the last day. Disaster avoided.

Now how about the playoffs? Prediction time:

Phillies at Braves - I know my team very well. I know we're capable of winning this series. We have the best rotation in all of MLB with 3 top 10 starters. With Wheeler, Sanchez, and Luzardo, we can take on anybody. Outside of Chris Sale, the Braves don't have another ace starting pitcher. However, Philly's hitting and the bullpen are unreliable. Sometimes we'll average 6+ runs/game for a stretch, other times we'll average 1-2. And boy was it frustrating how many times one of our aces left the game with a lead, only for the pen to cough it up. It doesn't give me confidence for a deep playoff run. It also hurts not having Arraez in the roster this series. Still, if we get hot today through Thursday and knock our division nemesis out of the playoffs for the 3rd time in 5 years, I'll take it! Speaking of the Braves, they are better on paper. Stronger bullpen, more consistent lineup. They've had more time to prep for this series, and they have home field advantage. My heart is with the Fightin' Phils, but my brain says the Braves will win this series.

Cubs at Padres - I'm going with Padres here. Stronger pitching. An offense that came alive in the last month, propelling them to a hot finish. Meanwhile, the Cubs had a mediocre September. If it's a clash of momentum and home/away splits, San Diego has the clear advantage. Of course, the Cubs are perfectly capable of winning this series. PCA, Bregman, Suzuki...they have the best offense in MLB. I would not be surprised if they made a deep run. Again, though, the recent eye test favors San Diego.

Red Sox at Yankees - It's unfortunate that the best rivalry in the AL will be hampered by injuries to the lineup. No Aaron Judge at all. Yoshida, Stanton, Contreras are on the rosters but all question marks as to how much they can contribute. So I guess this comes down to pitching? That's still a close call. Yankees have better starters with Schlittler, Fried, and Cole. But the Sox rotation is no slouch (Gray and Tolle), and they have Chapman as their closer. So if they have a lead late in the game, Chapman will likely shut the door. This is a tough call. I'm leaning towards the Red Sox. I think Judge is the biggest injury absence this series, plus the Sox were actually better on the road this year than at Fenway. Yeah, I'll predict Boston (Personally, I don't like either team, and I hope whoever wins gets whooped by the Rays.).

White Sox at Astros - Gosh I wish that was a typo, but no it's not. A .500 team is hosting a playoff series. We mentioned the D-backs above. Decent team, but the 7th best team in a 6-team NL playoff field. However their 86-76 record is better than not 1, not 2, but 3 AL playoff teams. Furthermore, thanks to the format of 3 vs 6, winner plays 2 seed, between the White Sox, Astros, and Guardians, one of them will reach as far as the ALCS. Ugh. The AL Central and West were so bad this year. It should prompt MLB to re-think the playoff structure because it isn't fair that one of those teams will one of four left standing, while the D-backs have already packed up for vacation. Oh right, I'm supposed to make a prediction instead of ranting. Um, White Sox

I would like to personally thank the Philadelphia Phillies for winning yesterday. This win insures that the Arizona Diamondbacks are officially eliminated from the 2026 MLB playoffs.

Why is this meaningful to me? This means that Nolan Arenado will not play in the postseason. This means that he has still played more postseason games for the Rockies (5) than with other teams (3), despite his forcing a devastating trade from Colorado because he wanted to win. Which he has not done in his 6 years since he left.

This also means that Arenado still has some of the worst postseason numbers in MLB history. His career postseason batting average is .152. On base percentage? .143. OPS? .385. He is 5 for 33 with one extra base hit and 9 strikeouts.

Thanks to the Phillies for keeping his legacy intact.

Well good riddance that regular season is over, when all the Mariners needed to be was the bottom of average they still couldn't even muster those low expectations. Not a great look for a league a team with a non-winning season won a division, American League was... not good this year. Anyways don't have much of a pony in the playoffs, would be Nice to see Brewers take it all, though an all-Chicago WS is a nice pipe dream. For the love of Jased Gawd don't let it be Dodgers-Astros.

Alright baseball is finally underway, it's bizarre to actually be incredibly optimistic about the season and having worringly high WS appearance or naught expectations, but that's what happens when you have your first 5-winning streak season in a row. Anyways I'll do the usual predictions/breakdown, though with more brevity than years past

AL WEST Pennant: Mariners WC: Angels

Mariners (plenty of drama to start the offseason, but they're still the most complete team that with perhaps another major breakout this year could be unstoppable- if only the injury bug and self-inflicted clubhouse problems don't get them)
Astros (They're still good, but they're starting at a brick wall on the not-too-distant horizon as they lack a lot of impact players down in the farm system and a team at the top that is definitely not getting any younger. It would a surprise if this is the year they have their fall off, but I have a feeling it's coming soon and they should be prepared for the predicted sell off before it does)
Rangers (I just Donno, you can't rely on their health and strange times indeed their offense is one of the weaker lineups in the American League despite some big names. If everybody stays on the field and some young players start hitting their potential, they have a decent shot to compete for the title but I have a feeling they'll more likely be content fighting for one of the last playoff spots)
Athletics (Their offense actually looks pretty scary, and considering it's youth, also has a lot of room to grow... though I also wonder how it will turn out once they move from essentially a Minor league park. But that rotation will surely keep them from being consistent this year. Will be a fun spoiler team, but everything (and possibly an in-season trade) would have to go right for them to make the playoffs this year)
Angels (The saddest story in baseball. They still act like they have room to compete, but just don't, and constantly pass over really talented prospects for safe fast-movers. They're nowhere close to even have a winning season. They really should just eat Mike Trout's contract and finally spearhead the long, LONG delayed youth movement and learn from their innumerable past mistakes)

AL Central Pennat: Tigers WC: Guardians

Tigers (Still definitely the favorites as they have the best lineup and a contract year Skubal, but I'm surprised they didn't make a bold "go for it" move when they have their best shot to win it all, at least in the near future)
Guardians (Will overachieve, I tell ya. Nothing about the roster seems intimidating on paper, but they just know how to compete and endure an entire season better than their competition. As crowded as the playoff picture in the American League, they should easily secure a wild card)
Royals (Absolutely the definitive Third-place pick, as they could swing wildly either way. I just don''t see why they're not being more aggressive moving their fading veterans and finding young talent to build around a genuine franchise superstar like Witt. That said looking at the roster there are plenty of chances to overachieve, but it looks like they may need to find help outside the organization as I don't know why they keep drafting risky, flawed, long-term prospects when you have Witt in his absolute prime. I guess another season bobbing around 500, but with their solid top-down pitching they could squeeze a few wins above the phythagerom (I didn't spell the right I Know).
White Sox (I'm biased but why not? There's a huge dropoff in an already weaker division at number four, and they actually did do a decent job bringing in some new talent and a lot of young players who seem ready to improve. Their pitching, though, will almost surely ensure another 90-loss season, anything else will be greatly exceeding expectation)
Twins (Just have been befuddled by their direction the past few seasons, often doing major player selloffs but never the ones with the most value, and yet perhaps because they're in the central still think they're not far from competing. The pre-season injuries, especially to Pablo Lopez, pretty much though ensured it will be Tank-in-'sota this year, and they should really go all in on getting their almost-major-league ready players some experience in the latter half of the season, and keep hoarding more young talent)

AL East Pennat: Blue Jays WC: Red Sox/Yankees (take your pick)

Blue Jays (Have they gotten better or stayed even than last year? I for the most part like what they did in the offseason and Bichette was never as reliable as you'd think, but they also had a lot of players overachieving last year who could come back to earth. I'll still put them in the front of a crowded but flawed AL East, but they could very easily have a regression from their almost-a-champion season last year)
Red Sox (Lost Bregman but looking at their roster they can make it up, though it does likely require a breakout season from their non-traditionally very young lineup. Their pitching should keep them in it as well, though how much their lineup improves will signal if they can be legit contenders in the American League
Yankees (Yankees SU... no I'm above that for one day here 😜 But I'm also: You have a few remaining prime years with Judge (and who the hell knows when his body finally breaks down for good), so why are the Yankees not making the necessary moves to take advantage of their likely limited window? Again this is definitely not the Yankees I remember growing up with. Anyways they'll still be a likely playoff team, even if there's a slow start there are a lot of stars coming back from injuries during the year, but a 2nd or 3rd wild card feels like such a lowly goal when they should really have a much more fearsome lineup outside of Judge than we see now. Maybe if Volpe finally recaptures that blue-chip glory, though Yankees fans will proll'y not make that easy).
Orioles (Could definitely be a legit contender, or could crumble early like they did last season. Despite some big singings, their success requires a lot of their young hitters who had major regressions last year to have equally major bounce-back seasons. I just don't understand why they have ignored developing young pitching, even after the Baz trade it is an extremely top-heavy staff in both the rotation and bullpen)
Devil Rays (Despite trading most of their remaning "big" names, the Rays always find a way to compete and I expect that to stay the same this year, though more so as a tough spoiler as the AL East is as brutal as always.

NL West Pennant: Dodgers WC: Padres

LA Dodgers (it's not just the potential of a three-peat, the Tucker signing just provided another great excuse to root against them as the hate for yet another round of Payroll maniupalation was clear.... though it's more the sign of a broken system than anything else that of course the wealthy elite can exploit. Still the favorites even as they're not getting any younger, though having that constant target-on-your-back is going to just burn them out sooner or later).
Padres (They're actually still pretty good. They are also not "one-piece-away" from being contenders, and their multiple absolute-albatross contracts have financially handcuffed them. They'll be competitive but they really need to start looking at developing talent and moving into a "massive retool" phase sooner or later.
Giants (Again I'm just not sure about where they're headed, a slightly above .500 team should strive to make major-league roster improvements and aim to compete, but they just haven't done that at all. They're competitive, but good enough for the Wild Card? Maybe if their young hitters overachieve, otherwise I have a feeling this going to be another very whelming winning season)
Diamondbacks (Brought most of the band back together, should like last year stay competitive in the top-heavy NL west but still the glass is half-empty on a wildcard spot. Not trading Marte is either going to noticeably be the smartest or dumbest thing they ever did quite soon.)
Rockies (Them bottoming out as majorly as they did last year could be a blessing in disguise. They have an alright farm system but it needs to improve if they're serious about building a 2030s contender and not just floating by like they've done since they're last playoff appearance, just grab all they young talent they can. It's also nice they've put together a competent baseball team for 2026, even if it is mostly dead-end, low-trade-value veterans. It's going to be a rough few years, but if they make the right course-corrections in terms of player development they could be really, really good... again likely near the next decade.)

NL Central Pennat: Cubs WC: Brewers

Cubs (Their offense is fantastic, their pitching is definitely good enough to see them through a long playoff run. They just need to avoid that post-break Swoon like last season, and probably need another deadline upgrade before they can be true WS favorites)
Brewers (One of the best run teams in Baseball, who despite being contenders the past few years continue to re-load with top-tier young talent. Their lineup is super reliable, how much their pitching staff holds up (and mainly, avoids injuries) will determine if they can compete for the pennat).
Reds (With the Francona influence and their potentially scary lineup, they should keep things interesting until late September, but things already have not gone right at all and the season is just starting. The Greene injury was a major setback, but if he returns pretty much at 100% they have a decent shot to sneak into the playoffs)
Pirates (I like that they're finally showing the willingness to make immediate upgrades and not just waste the controllable years of Skenes, but a lot of poor drafting/development decisions already put them back a few years and even with the quantity of deals I don't think they're a playoff team just yet, unless all their young talent starts showing their max potential. An 80-84 win season is a lot more realistic and would do wonders for their future outlook.)
Cardinals (Finally went all in on the rebuild and from a young talent standpoint looks very enticing. The fact they were able to move Arenado's contract and get something, anything of value was a stroke of absolute genius. This year should be brutal, especially in an unusually stacked NL Central, but they're going to have a lot of opportunities to get their young players consistent playing time and could be rising back up the standings sooner than you think)

NL East Pennat: Phillies WC: NY Mets

Phillies (They're still contenders, but I'm also shocked they didn't make more "go for it" moves considering they have an aging core. You don't want another situation like their last contending bunch who they held on for too long and it set them back a decade. And it feels like you have to deal with a whole lot of 10-0-4 runs scored in any given series given it's extreme inconsistent, all-or-nothing approach. How the back end of their rotation and bullpen hold up will determine if they can make a WS push, I think they are still an in-season upgrade away from being able to do that).
NY Mets (There was nothing more Mets-y than how the 2025 season ultimately unfolded. Dear gawd, you can bring a 400 million cow to water but you can't keep it from losing interest even when you're already at the clearing. That said, they did do an interesting strategy of almost completely revamping their roster with much turnover, whether or not that's the winning medicine or a terribly shortsighted move will only be obvious once we get deeper into the season. I still think they're obvious WC contenders but wouldn't put it past them to spectacturaly underachieve)
Washington (The Juan Soto trade was in 2022, right? Shouldn't the rebuild progressed further than the charmingly mediocre squad their putting forth this year? Again a broken record maybe if a lot of t heir young players have remarkable turnarounds from their hitherto underachieving ways, but this is starting to feel like a journey back to respctability that's been much slower and more erratic than it should've been)
Atlanta (It was just injuries last year. This year it's... just injuries. Another huge hoard of them, during spring training. Is a curse starting to brew?)
Miami (Overachived last year, but are weaker this season even with a predictably star-power-lacking lineup. Not the worse, but not really anywhere close to contention yet... they really need to find some good, young bats soon as that's been a noticable problem down in the farm)

Dang I'm being generous with my WC spread-out. Probably will be wrong somewhere

And for my probably wrong playoff predictions

American League: M's over Tigers/Blue Jays
National League: Cubs over Dodgers

And for World Series!!!!!..... I'm not going to Jinx it 🤐

I feel for Mariners fans out there. Up 2-0 in the series, only to lose 4 of the next 5. That's rough. The Phillies did the same thing in the 2023 NLCS.

So what do we have now? Dodgers vs. Blue Jays, eh? I've heard music and politcal jokes. Drake vs. Kendrick. USA vs. Canada. I've heard some are rooting for Toronto because they think it would piss off the POTUS, but honestly I don't think he cares. In some ways, he probably dislikes LA and CA even more than Canada. I've also heard the rich vs. poor narrative. Dodgers have the highest payroll, but it's not that much higher than the Blue Jays, who rank 5th in payroll. Then again, LA's payroll doesn't include $1 billion in deferred payments to current players, who won't receive those checks until next decade. So from that angle, yeah, the Blue Jays are poor in comparison, and so is the rest of MLB. I think MLB badly needs a salary cap, and a salary floor to try to balance the scales.

Anyway, I hope it's a fun series. As I've said before, I started supporting the Dodgers as a second team after my Phillies when I moved to LA in 2014. Although this year was the first time those two met in the playoffs since I moved here. I felt no joy, nor animosity, for the Dodgers after that series, just pain and frustration with the Phillies. It took over a week for me to start feeling positive towards the Dodgers again, as they were finishing off the sweep of Milwaukee in the following round. Still, the whole time I was thinking "This could be the Phillies if they had played better in the NLDS". Anyway, what's done is done. Time for the World Series. Go Dodgers. I think it would be really cool for Clayton Kershaw to retire a WS champion. Is he even gonna pitch in this series? We'll see.

Rough night for Philly fans. The Eagles lost and are looking very shaky. Of course, the Phillies loss felt much worse. Such a great team. Such a well-played game 4. To be honest, when our ace, Zack Wheeler, was ruled out for the playoffs, I lost some faith. Best pitcher on the team, without a doubt. Easily a top 5 pitcher in the NL. But I was pleasantly surprised the way the Phillies came together and seemed to play even better after he was gone. I also felt MLB lacked a standout team, and this postseason would come down to match-ups. Against the Dodgers explosive offense, I was worried. I felt this was the series we really needed Zack Wheeler, but if we could just get through LA, I would feel good against any other team. And man, if we had won Game 4 last night and brought Game 5 back to Philly, who knows what might have happened. But to end the way it did last night, on a fielding error with the bases loaded. Ugh. Painful.

Anyway, on a lighter note, how about them Mariners? What a win tonight! Going to the ALCS.
