This is the final installment if a seven-part series predicting the records of each team, and now the playoffs. The teams that make the postseason in this installment are based off of previous ones.
Now that the 2011 season is closer than ever, and Opening Day is only eight days away, we writers are giving our preseason predictions, and these are mine. Through careful analysis of records, schedules, transactions, and more I have compiled my postseason picks.
Now, it’s time to break them down.
Matchups in the postseason are incredible, and they always provide fireworks. The ability to play five or seven games against your opponent is what makes baseball great. The best teams usually come out on top, but sometimes we have surprises, like the 2008 Phillies or 2010 Giants.
These next slides are my predictions of each postseason series, and breakdowns of each series. Sure, the postseason is over seven months away, but it’s never too early.
