Baseball Predictions: Looking Good

Friday, October 03, 2008

I don't want to brag but my predictions for the division series are looking good.

1) I had the Red Sox beating the Angels in 4. The Sox won game one at Anaheim and I'm thinking they're going to win tonight, as well. I'm predicting a game 3 defeat, I think Beckett's going to get shelled, and a game 4 win. Now, here's a caveat - if I were managing the Red Sox, I'd keep Beckett on the bench for Game 3 and try to keep him rested and healthy for the LCS. If that's what Francona does, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox sweep.

2) I had Tampa Bay sweeping the White Sox and that one is looking good.

3) I had the Phillies sweeping the Brewers and that one is looking good, as well.

4) Here's where I'm up against the ropes. I had the Cubs in 5 but I also said that drama was going to gravitate to them. If the Cubs come back from this 2-0 deficit to win in Game 5, I am going to look like a friggin' genius. If the Dodgers continue to pound on the Cubs, I would have blown that call big time.

Anyway - there's nothing like Friday night playoff baseball and I'm looking forward to the match-ups.
