MLB Playoffs Predictions: ALCS and NLCS – Dodgers Vs Cardinals, Red Sox Vs Tigers
ALCS Prediction:
The Boston Red Sox defied the odds this season. They bounced back from a horrible season, put a legitimate coach in place, and turned around a pitching staff that was falling apart. It’s impressive, but I think this is where it ends for the Sox.
The Rays were the weakest team in the postseason, and despite wanting to see them upset Boston, we kind of knew it wouldn’t happen. The Tigers are much better.
I love Detroit’s rotation. Anchored by a one-two punch of Scherzer and Verlander, and supported by Fister and Sanchez, I think they have an edge over Boston. The bigger edge, however, I think is in this lineup. Cabrera and Prince should be able to power the Tigers through the Red Sox.

NLCS Prediction:
Well, this is how we saw things going. It seemed obvious from the outset, and it happened. In my eyes, the two best teams in the NL are meeting for its championship. Get your popcorn ready.
I sided with the Dodgers in the NLDS because I didn’t think the Braves could answer for Clayton Kershaw. What scares me about this series, is that I think the Cardinals can. Adam Wainwright is every much the ace that Kershaw is. I think the Dodgers pitching rotation is deeper, but the Cardinals lineup is one of the most clutch in baseball history.
St. Louis can hit, LA can do both. I think the Dodgers are the more well-rounded team, but I don’t know that they can keep the Cardinal bats under wraps for the whole series. With low confidence, I’m thinking they will.

— With both predictions we’re low confidence on the series and going game by game. This is about as excited as we’ve been for a championship series in a long time. Get ready for some excellent baseball!
