Here are the fearless predictions of
FenwayNation's in-house sooth-sayer,
Pine-Tar-Nak The Not-So-Magnificent:
AL East: Rays;
AL Central: Royals;
AL West: Angels;
NL East: Nationals;
NL Central: Reds;
NL West: Dodgers;
AL Wild Cards: Red Sox, Tigers;
NL Wild Cards: D'Backs, Braves;
ALCS: Tigers over Rays;
NLCS: Nationals over Dodgers;
World Series: Nationals over Tigers. Given Pine-Tar-Nak's track record, you can pretty much toss these predictions in the trash. Everyone is undefeated today (except for the Diamondbacks and Dodgers), and optimism is in the air (along with a few snowflakes in key cities). Play Ball!
