Over nineteen games the Yanks are even with Boston, but weaker against mutual opponents and opponents of opponents:
Likewise, the Cards are weaker against the Dodgers:

I hope we have good baseball weather for the playoffs and World Series. We run the risk of bad baseball weather this time of year in most of the country. The powers that be have scheduled game 7 of the World Series for November 3rd. There could be chilly nights in Chicago, St.Louis, New York,and Boston in these playoffs.
I want the Braves to win it all. I’m a lifelong fan anyway, but this year especially for the MLB’s crap stunt of pulling the all-star game from Atlanta after the voting reforms were passed here.
Here is my prediction:
The playoffs will be cancelled this year due to millions of true followers of Jesus Christ disappearing from earth sometime during Oct 7-8, because martial law will likely be declared.
And thus begins Tribulation: https://www.endtime-studies.com/pyton/rapture-dates/
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
By the way, it's "RS/RA".
Most of all, I want to see the Yankees and Dodgers lose the wild cards and have to explain why 25 gazillionaires couldn’t win one game with their postseason riding on it.
Nonetheless, I will try to offer a sensible prediction:
A.L. Wild Card: Yankees (Cole vs Eovaldi). New York goes with their ace and the ghost of Bucky Dent still lingers.
N.L. Wild Card: Cardinals (Wainwright vs Scherzer). St. Louis is white-hot right now, coming off a 17-game winning streak. They’re peaking at the right time.
A.L.D.S. 1: Rays. Cole can only pitch once and the Rays have clobbered New York all year. That should continue.
A.L.D.S. 2: White Sox. Houston’s pitching and offense seem to be falling apart at the worst time.
N.L.D.S. 1: Brewers. This is a toss-up, really so I am taking the one with home field advantage.
N.L.D.S. 2: Giants. Haven’t we seen this postseason matchup before?
A.L.C.S.: Rays. ChiSox have great starting pitching. Tampa has NO starting pitching but this is how Tampa wins.
N.L.C.S.: Giants. Whether they face the Brewers or Braves, it won’t be as hard as beating St. Louis.
World Series: Rays vs. Giants - In a 7-game series, I’m picking Tampa Bay. Fighting the Dodgers and Padres all year is remarkable but fighting the Yankees, Red Sox and Blue Jays all year is even harder.
Cardinals can sneak up on you in Sept-Oct.
