Water Cooler Fodder: Throwing Darts At The MLB Playoff Picture

The first game of the 2013 Major League Baseball season was played on Sunday night. Everyone’s favorite punching bag, the Houston Astros, defeated the Texas Rangers by a count of 8-2. The number of “take a picture of the standings” Tweets that I read was positively astounding. Those Tweets were immediately followed by a barrage of “Magic Number: 62” notes. Many pundits view the Astros’ low payroll and move to the competitive AL West as reasons for a likely “road to 100 (losses).”

I thought I’d pull back for a moment to fire off divisional predictions and throw my darts at the Fall Classic. My World Series prediction looks a bit different than most you’ll discover as you traverse the internet.

AL West : Los Angeles Angels
AL Central : Detroit Tigers
AL East : Tampa Bay Rays
Wild Card 1: Toronto Blue Jays
Wild Card 2: Texas Rangers

NL West : San Francisco Giants
NL Central : Cincinnati Reds
NL East : Philadelphia Phillies
Wild Card 1 : Los Angeles Dodgers
Wild Card 2 : St. Louis Cardinals

World Series : Cincinnati Reds over Tampa Bay Rays
