Well now that the regular season of Major League Baseball is done and finished. I will make my prediction on who wins it all in 2012. Remember instead of 8 teams in the postseason there’s 10 teams. 2 1-game wild card games to determine who gets to go to one of the ALDS/NLDS matchups. Other than that nothing has changed in the postseason system. So lets begin:
Wild Card:
St. Louis @ Atlanta: Cards. I feel the Cardinals will get the win based on a good start by Kyle Lohse. The Braves I’m not sure of.
Baltimore @ Texas: Rangers. The Rangers have a great team to not lose against the O’s. Its been a great year to be an Orioles fan but their season ends in Arlington.
Division Series:
Oakland vs Detroit: Tigers in 5. A good matchup between these two teams. I like the Tigers pitching and hitting. Going to be a good series as well.
San Francisco vs Cincinnati: Giants in 4. The Reds sure look good on paper but the Giants have better pitching than the Reds.
St. Louis vs Washington: Cardinals in 5: The Nationals don’t have Strasburg in this series but this could go on for a while. The Cardinals will put up a great fight and I feel that it will be won in a close 5th game.
Texas vs New York: Rangers in 4. The Rangers have the Yankees number for the past few years. I’ll take the Rangers.
Detroit vs Oakland: Detroit in 3. Oakland had a great season but they’re no match for the Tigers I feel.
League Championship Series:
St. Louis vs San Francisco: Giants in 5. The St. Louis train ends. Giants go back to the World Series and represent the National League. Giants pitching is good.
Texas vs Detroit: Detroit in 6. The hopes of a 3rd trip to the World Series ends for the Rangers and the Tigers go to the World Series for the first time since 2006.
World Series:
Detroit vs San Francisco: Detroit in 7. A great pitching matchup along with great hitting. This one will be just as great as last year’s I can feel it. I love October. Tigers bring the hardware back to the motor city since 1984.
