2023 MLB Postseason Predictions

[jon abbey]

TB over TEX 2-0
TOR over MIN 2-0 (I wanted to go TOR 2-1 but former Twin Jose Berrios is pitching game 2 so it seems appropriate he hands MIN their 20th straight postseason loss)

MIL over ARI 2-0 (MIL will miss Woodruff in the next round but ARI isn't hitting at all)
PHI over MIA 2-0

BAL over TB 3-2
HOU over TOR 3-1

ATL over PHI 3-1
LAD over MIL 3-1

HOU over BAL 4-2
ATL over LAD 4-1

ATL over HOU 4-3

No one else taking a shot at this? 2 1/2 hours until first pitch, go for it.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I haven't posted b/c I have no serious disagreements with @jon abbey I do think it's possible that Baltimore loses to TB.

I think the Twins might be Good, Actually. Otherwise, I think the consensus is right on. But, for variety's sake:

TB over TEX 2-1
MIN over TOR 2-1

PHI over MIA 2-0
ARI over MIL 2-1

BAL over TB 3-2
HOU over MIN 3-0

ATL over PHI 3-1
LAD over ARI 3-0

BAL over HOU 4-2
LAD over ATL 4-3

LAD over BAL 4-1

 

[RobertS975]

Lots of bracket busters already from Day 1.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

I expect the Twins victory will be overturned

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

The AL East wild cards should probably stop hoping to play the AL Central champs. I don't know why Toronto would want to go on the road against a team that's not only really good at home, but has been playing better than they have for the past month.

Can the Rays at least match the 1 run they scored in the 2022 playoffs?

 

[Yelling At Clouds]

Well, glad I didn’t post my “Rays win it all!” prediction!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This is what I made on Monday night - already not so good.

TOR (3)
TB (3)
MIL (2)
PHI (3)

HOU (4)
TB (5)
LAD (4)
ATL (3)

HOU (6)
ATL (5)

ATL (5)

 

[jon abbey]

TB over TEX 2-0
TOR over MIN 2-0

MIL over ARI 2-0
PHI over MIA 2-0

Heh that is a whopping 2-6 for me, so glad that very young me vowed to stop betting on sports and I have stuck to it ever since.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

TB over TEX 2-1 WRONG
TOR over MN 2-0 WRONG

MIL over AZ 2-1 WRONG
PHL over MIA 2-1 CORRECT (on predicted winner) WRONG (on how...)

Have I mentioned how I picked (not choices, just assuming) John Kerry in '04, Rudy Guliani in '08, Mitt in '12, Hillary in '16 and Trump in '20 ? Mostly glad to be wrong


New Picks:
American League

No. 3 Twins vs. No. 2 Astros (Astros in 5)

No. 5 Rangers vs. No. 1 Orioles (Rangers in 5)

National League

No. 6 Diamondbacks vs. No. 2 Dodgers (Diamondbacks in 5)

No. 4 Phillies vs. No. 1 Braves (Braves in 5)

 

[LogansDad]

TEX over TB 2-1 CORRECT
TOR over MIN 2-0 WRONG

PHI over MIA 2-0 CORRECT
ARI over MIL 2-1 CORRECT

BAL over TEX 3-2
HOU over TOR 3-1

ATL over PHI 3-1
LAD over ARI 3-1

HOU over BAL 4-2
ATL over LAD 4-3

ATL over HOU 4-2

I feel gross.

3-1 so far, and didn't lose any of my LCS teams. I consider that a win.

 

[simplicio]

I say both Texas teams lose in 5, not because I think it's likely but because then I'd get to watch the rest of the postseason without them in it.

Whelp.
