Let’s see who guesses correctly who is going to represent each league in the Fall Classic, the number of games and the series winner. Only a few teams have secored berths in the playoffs, so it’s still up in the air. My choices: American League, NY Yankees. National League, Cincinnati. 7 game series. Yankees win. ---

AL: Texas Rangers NL: Washington Nationals Rangers finally win the title in 6. Although, more likely, one of the second wild cards will make it just because that’s how these things seem to work out. ---

It really IS just a guess, because any team that gets into the playoffs really COULD get hot and go all the way. I’ll guess… Texas Rangers over Washington Nationals in 6. The media will make much of the fact that the Rangers USED to play in Washington. ---

Keeping my fingers crossed that the Reds and the Yanks don’t both make it. But if they do… well, New York’s home now, but Cincinnati’s blood. ---
