If you wager money on these picks and win you owe your old pal ‘Loaf 10% of the profits.

BoSox v Injuns – BoSox

Rangers v Jays – Rangers

Cubs v Giants – Cubs

Dodgers v Nats – Dodgers

Bosox v Rangers – BoSox

Cubs v Dodgers – Dodgers

BoSox v Dodgers – BoSox

I think the Cubs are the best team top to bottom, but their two possible worst matchups will be in the final 4, BoSox and Dodgers. But the main reason I’m not picking the Cubs is because of their repugnant list of celebrity fans, Eddie Vedder, Jim Belushi, Billy Corgan, John Cusack…..the list goes on. I’m personally rooting for Rich Hill in these playoffs, because, he’s Rich Hill. I’m also rooting for Hanley Ramirez, because of the rough ride he’s had in Boston, it would be cool if he redeemed himself in the playoffs and helped them win a title.
