Playoff Round 1

It is that time of the season already. What may happen is any ones guess, the rankings don't really come into play now. So I will ask the crystal ball and go with its inside divinity for a clue.

#5 Las Vegas Slobs vs #4 New York Yankees - It is rumored that New York may change their nickname next year to the "Frustrated Yank-a-Doodles". Why? Ten straight East Titles and can't get past the second round. Will it be further disappointment this year? The Slobs own the season series 7-3. Home field is a disadvantage for the Yankees. Expect the Slobs to win 3-2 or 3-1.

#4 Huntington Good Will vs #3 St. Louis Barracudas - The Good Will barely hung on to stave off the Blue Jays. The Barracudas made a run at the end as predicted to take the division. The Barracudas own the series 6-4. Look for a tight well played series. The Barracudas are slightly favored with a 3-2 win.

#5 Chicago Cubs vs #4 Scottsdale Pepperjackets - The Pepperjackets learned how to win at home. The Cubs overtook the Brewers at the end as predicted. The series was tied 5-5. The Cubs are favored to win 3-1 or 3-2.

#6 Milwaukee Brewers vs #3 Houston Astros - The Brewers had a great season but faded a little at the end. The Astros has put it together. Dilo asked me if the Brewers were an anomaly due to the power rankings. I said "No, the anomaly was the Sluggers." The season series went to the Astros 8-2 and they played 7 in a row. The crystal ball says it is an Astros sweep and I can't argue with that but may say it may be an Astros win at 3-1.
