    For any MLB fans

    Yelich clearly has NL MVP locked up and I think Mookie has AL but what about the big picture. Who is winning it all?

    I got the Red Sox as World Series Champs!!!

    Its not likely but the Brewers got something special going on and if they can keep that mojo rolling, well, watch out!

    I’m pulling for the Braves but I bet their post season inexperience will hurt them.

    The Brewers are on a major roll. Post season is all about who gets hot. I pick the Brewers.

    Sox or Astros are the cream of the crop. Braves for the longshot.

    Whoever wins the ALCS. Anything can happen in a 7 game series but the AL has been the better league this year.

    Red Sox had a historic year. But in the playoffs starting pitching and defense usually win out. Boston isn't particularly great at either of those categories especially with Sale banged up. After him in the rotation there isn't really much. Porcello is alright. Plus BOS's pen is iffy even with a good Kimbrel. I'd take Cleveland over them in a 5 or 7 game set with Cleveland IMO better all around on defense, equal offense and light years better with Kluber, Carrasco and Bauer at their 3 man rotation. Astros are also carrying 3 beast starters in Cole, Verlander and Morton/Kuechel. Astros have arguably the best defense and offense in the league. I would take either HOU or CLE over BOS.

    Like others have said MIL is on fire. If they are ahead after the 5th inning its nearly over with Hader, Knebel and Jeffress taking the game over at that point. They have a 2015 Royals feel to them with the triple headed pen monsters, solid D, some speed and more power. Also very deep bench. Also have Cain and Moose off that 2015 WSC Royals squad for experience.

    All that said:

    I'll say CLE vs MIL in the World Series. I'll then take Cleveland.

    Me and a buddy have tickets to the Braves/Dodgers games 3 & 4 in Atlanta. I'm hoping the Braves can make it to the WS but I don't see anyone beating the Red Sox.

    Red Sox were 66-17 vs. sub .500 teams. In fact, they were 31-7 against the O's and the Jays combined. Against the rest of the field they were 42-37. 10-9 vs. the Yankees. AL West was much more competitive. I'll take the Astros in the AL. As for the NL, it's a push. No one dominant bullpen. Even Hader has been getting touched up. I would say the Brewers, but I can't...

    I'm pulling for the Braves but their bullpen is not very dependable and you have to have pitching to win the world series. If they will shore that up and find a more productive hitting catcher they will be tough to beat in the future.

    Red Sox fan here, But, last year while my son was at Wounded Warriors Bn. Walter Reed Hospital, Christian Yelich and other members of the Marlins visited and the way that Christian accommodated and spent time with the wounded, I will never forget and I will forever be a fan.....Go Brewers!!!
