[jncuse]

Cleveland wins over Washington (assuming Scherzer's removal was purely cautionary and nothing else)

And Twins over Yankees... I don't like the Yanks or Red Sox. But I have a feeling the Yanks will not be in a one and done game for a while, and will win the division most of the next 5 years.

 

[jncuse]

Odds to win the World Series. I am surprised the Indians are not the favourite (although its very close), but that may be an element of the perceived easier ride through the NL then the AL.

 

[Alsacs]

AL Wild Card-NY Yankees
NL Wild Card- Arizona

ALDS Cleveland over NY Yankees in 4
Houston over Boston in 3

NLDS Arizona over LA Dodgers in 5
Cubs over Washington in 4

ALCS- Cleveland over Houston in 6

NLCS- Arizona over Cubs in 7

World Series- Cleveland in 5.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yankees vs Cubs. The dynasty series begins.

 

[Briancuse]

Yankees over Twins
Dbacks over Rockies

Indians over Yankees
Astros over Red Sox

Indians over Astros

Cubs over Nationals
Dodgers over Dbacks

Dodgers over Cubs

Indians over Dodgers

 

[KaiserUEO]

Yankees would likely lose a 7 game series to the tribe, but much like a 1 gamer is a crapshoot, a 5 can see the inferior team win.

That said, Sevy, CC, the bullpen and the Yankee bats take a backseat to no one...

Yanks in 4.

They take a back seat to the Indians.

Cubs just getting started, half sleeping for 120 games this year with horrible hangover, ready to steamroll back to back..

 

[NineOneSeven]

I live in Ohio surrounded by Indians fans so a potential wild card matchup against cleveland as a Yankee fan could be interesting..

Hoping we can just get by the twins first

I think they will, but everyone is going to pick the Yankees, and with all the times the Yankees beat the Twins in the past, I would be a little nervous if I was a Yankees fan.

 

[ScrabbCuse]

Anything can happen in a one game, winner move on playoff. Having said that, I have the Yankees over the Twins and the Diamondbacks over the Rockies.

Division Series: Indians over Yankees(Yanks are a year ahead of schedule. Getting to this point is great for them.)

Astros over Red Sox

Cubs over Nationals(Washington has never won a postseason series in their history. Not sure this is the year they finally win one.)

Diamondbacks over Dodgers

ALCS: Indians over Astros
NLCS: Cubs over Diamondbacks

World Series: Indians over Cubs(Cleveland will get their revenge and snap their 69 year title drought.)

Fans of any team in a one game series against any major league team should be nervous, as at best they would have only about a 70% chance of winning.

Yankees have bats but they need starting pitching to dominate the division.

Their young pitching is Severino and prospects.

Pineda is gone. CC is old. Gray and Garcia are okay. Tanaka is hot/cold.

Toronto and Boston have better pitching.

The East will be competitive every year it's too much payroll in the division.

Yanks are fine.

Sevy is an ace.

Monty won 9 games this year and it easily could've been a lot more if not for Girardi pulling him at 4 2/3 when he didn't really have to and clippard flushed at least 1 W and the pen a few more.

Hopefully CC gets a 'Pettitte' contract

Gray is more than fine as a 2.

Tanaka will likely come back

And Chance Adams has a phenomenal year in AA and AAA.

And none of them are fighting with David Cone on the plane...

 

[Bayside44]

Scherzer bumped from the game 2 start. Climb getting a little long a little quick for the curly Ws.

Verlander in Houston is going to be tough.

Red Sox have no chance unless they hit multiple run HRs against this
Houston lineup.

The Sox start 4 guys younger than Judge. They aren't going anywhere. A healthy Price, Sale, Drew P and Porcello is a good place to start. Erod can take a major step. He has excellent stuff. I think Boston and New York will take jumps next year to get to the level Cleveland and the Astro's are at. They aren't going anywhere either.
