MLB Conference Series Predictions Thread

[nuraman00]

Pick the winner of each series, and the series score.

I know the last few games can be variable depending on the SP, but try to get them in as early as you can.

1 point for series winner, 1 point for correct series score.

1 point for each series MVP.

1 Bonus point for a correct team winner in a game-by-game breakdown.

(((IowaSacKing93, I liked how you gave me which games both teams were going to win. It makes it a little bit easier when calculating the predictions results, and calculating the game-by-game results)))


ALCS:

Detroit vs Texas:

Game 1: Justin Verlander vs. C.J. Wilson
Game 2: Max Scherzer vs. Derek Holland
Game 3: Colby Lewis vs. Doug Fister
Game 4: Matt Harrison vs. Rick Porcello
Game 5: C.J. Wilson vs. Justin Verlander

There's not much separating Detroit and Texas' pitching, but I give Texas the slight edge.

Texas has a bigger offense.



Texas in 5.

Texas wins 1, 2, 4, 5.

MVP: Adrian Beltre




NLCS:

St. Louis vs. Milwaukee:

Game 1: Garcia vs. Greinke
Game 2: Edwin Jackson vs. ???
Game 3: Gallardo vs. Carpenter
Game 4: ??? vs. Kyle Lohse
Game 5: Greinke vs. ???

Milwaukee has the better overall pitching, but St. Louis has the best pitcher (Chris Carpenter) among the two teams.

Ryan Braun won't hit as well as he did in the Arizona series.

St. Louis in 5.

St. Louis wins 1, 2, 3, 5.

MVP: Rafael Furcal (He'll get lots of hits)

Rooting for Milwaukee though.

nuraman Gallardo doesnt pitch for the Cardinals, he is going to be the Game 2pitcher for Milwaukee

I have Detroit winning the ALCS in 5 games
Win: 1,,2,3,5
MVP: Justin Verlander (he pitches Game 1 and Game 5 both will be DOMINATING performances. Game 1 will be HISTORIC)

I have Brewers swinning the NLCS
Win:1,2,3,4
MVP: Ryan Braun
-I think Greinke, Gallardo, Marcum catch fire and shut down the Cardinals offense

I put Gallardo first in game 3, since Milwaukee is on the road. That's also why Greinke is first in game 5. I guess I should state that in my schedule list next time.

They have Gallardo on Wednesday in Game 3.


I listed my schedule according to ESPN, as they had it listed when I posted. I tend to find they're more accurate than Yahoo, at least in the regular season.

:facepalm: wow i jsut noticed that

[nuraman00]

I was watching the TBS postgame show just now. Yesterday was a great day.

Also, when TBS was promoing the ALCS on FOX, the studio host Matt Winer said "Can I get the FOX music"?

LOL! TBS asked for FOX music.

Just thinking about possible WS matchups. The two best pitchers left are Carpenter and Verlander. So if St. Louis and Detroit make it, hopefully they're matched up.

[PackfanMatt_12]

I think Galalrdo can be one of the best pitchers if he is ON, I think we will see that in the NLCS

I added more questions. :)

I want to know your "Expert Opinion".
