My post-season picks are as follows:
ALDS:
Detroit over Oakland
New York over Baltimore
ALCS:
Detroit over New York
NLDS:
San Francisco over Cincinnati
St.Louis over Washington
NLCS:
San Francisco over St.Louis
World Series:
San Francisco over Detroit
Well, the World Series matchup is all set. It will be the well-rested Detroit Tigers against the cardiac kids San Francisco Giants (just as I predicted, BTW).
The Tigers will be favored in this series even though the Giants get the extra home game (if it goes 7).
However, will the Tigers be rusty (they haven't played since last Thursday)? And, how can you bet against SF now that they've won 6 straight elimination games during this post-season?
