I’ve really enjoyed the postseason so far and it’s always fun making these picks with Sunny and Joshua. After the Wild Card Round, Sunny was 3-1; I was sitting at 2-2; and Joshua was bringing up the rear at 1-3. But things really changed in the Divisional Round. Here are the current standings:
Jason: 4-4
Sunny: 3-5
Joshua: 3-5
This just proves the variability of postseason baseball, I guess. This game will drive you crazy. After coming out of the blocks strong in round one, Sunny went 0-4 with her picks this time. We all thought the Padres and Phillies had the mojo to advance, but this Mets team has been hot for months and even a banged up Dodgers team is pretty formidable. On the AL side, the Yanks and Guardians are the #1 and #2 seeds for a reason.
Here are our picks for the next round:
Mets vs. Dodgers
Jason: Dodgers; Sunny: Dodgers; Joshua: Dodgers
Which means the Mets will win, naturally.
Guardians vs. Yankees
Jason: Yankees; Sunny: Guardians; Joshua: Yankees
I think the Yankees will win but for the sake of my friend, Jon Wood, I’d like to see Cleveland advance.
