For once in my life the teams I want to win are the teams I think are going to win.

Anaheim, Chicago, Chicago, Milwaukee

as a red sox fan i think its bad karma to always pick the good guys

i think chicago wins in a flukey fashion so the media can blame youth for the rays loss

the cubs out hit LA and plaschke blames ethier and kemp

sabathia throws two complete game shutouts

Does Plaschke even know who Ethier and Kemp are?

Mark me down for Bos, Tam, Chi, Phil

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Tampa, Chicago, Boston, Phillies

Those are the better teams, at least, from most confident to least. Who knows what will happen in five games, though.

Phils, Cubs, DRays, Angles

This follows head to head records, but wasn’t my basis for the picks, which was pure gut instinct ;)

Curt never met a buttered roll he didn't like.

Red Sox in five, Rays in four, Dodgers in four, Brewers sweep

Red Sox over Rays in six
Dodgers over Brewers in seven

Red Sox in five

but I’d prefer seeing the Rays or any NL team win it all

Angels, Rays, Dodgers, Phils

The Angels/Red Sox series will come down to how healthy Boston is, I think.

Dodgers just because for some reason I still don’t believe in the Cubs pitching staff.
