Will put on separate post later. If a favored team loses, just replace with the next highest ranked team to figure out the next predicted winner(s). Remember my average is really good, but just like the stock market, you don’t bet on one stock or one year. It’s an overall average over many years.
According to the stats I use, the “World Series” (best two teams in baseball) would be the NLDS between the Dodgers vs. the Giants.

The joy of seeing Tampa win is their payroll is less than half of most of the other teams in the playoffs. Less than a third of the Dodgers.
The Cardinals will take care of the Dodgers.
OK. Any idea how?
The Cardinals will take care of the Dodgers.
LOL!! I was just about to post that my $$ is on the Astros.....but, I’d throw some change, on the Cards...for that potential BIG payoff. 😂
Details, details...
How exactly do the Cards have the upper hand on LA?
Serious question because I have no idea.
I mean I know “on any given day”, but what do you see in the Cards that can beat LA?
If you’ll re-read my post, you’ll get that I DON’T see the Cards beating LA....only in a *long shot*.
;-)
To tell you the truth, I usually know little about these teams at the start of the playoffs, only that the stats I use average about 60% right oever the years. But as the playoffs progress, I get to know the teams pretty well.
The Dodgers are the best pitching/defense team in baseball. That combined with a strong offense gives them the edge over the Giants.
But anything can happen, especially in a short series because my stats are over the whole season.
Did you enjoy the All Star game in Atlanta? Oh. I forgot, It wasn’t in Atlanta because MLB deciding stealing elections was a good thing and moved it to Colorado.
Don’t be a sheep.
Don’t be a jerk.
Explain Jerk. I speak with veracity. MLB has has become ‘Woke’. I refuse to be woke by the Marxists stealing elections and rioting in our cities.
