It’s that time of year again! Just one day after the regular season came to a close, the MLB postseason kicks off on Tuesday evening with the American League Wild Card game. Add in Wednesday’s NL Wild Card Game and the start of the division series on Thursday, and we will be in for a lot more baseball over the next month.
While our Detroit Tigers won’t be involved, it should still make for some fun watching. We have already outlined who we want to see go all the way, but now it’s time for predictions! Several of our writers nailed the Chicago Cubs as champions last year, but only one (yup, it was me) managed a near sweep of the bracket.
This year’s postseason seems a little bit tougher to predict, but some clear trends emerged in our picks. Sorry, Colorado.
