Prediction Time: Division Series

In our Wild Card prediction thread, two people got three of the four series correct: Ritzkiss and Rancy. In the ‘how many games will the series go, Rancy was off by just two games, so he’s the winner. I’d like to say there is a prize, but you have my congratulations Rancy. That and $2.95 will get you a coffee at Starbucks. Not a fancy coffee, but a coffee.

If you are wondering about the picture above, I’m just absolutely amazed that anyone would celebrate anything with Budweiser beer.

Tomorrow the Division Series start, they are a best of five. There are four games tomorrow:

Sunday we have the NLDS games at 4:00 Eastern (Padres @ Brewers) and 8:00 Eastern (Braves @ Dodgers).

Monday it is the ALDS games. 5:00 Eastern (White Sox @ Brewers) and 8:00 Eastern (Yankees @ Rays).

So make your predictions. Let’s just do winner and number of games.

I’ll take the White Sox in 5 games, because it is hard to beat a team backed by the Pope.

Dodgers in four. I’ll be cheering for the Braves, but shutting off the sound when that chant starts.

Yankees in five. I’ll cheer for the Rays.
