Now that I have wrapped up all my 2008 division predictions, its time to move on to who is going to do what this fall in the playoffs. Make sure to check back tomorrow as well to see my picks of who will take home the 2008 awards. As always let me know what you think of all the picks!
In case you missed any of the division breakdowns you can check them out here:
AL East | AL Central | AL West | NL East | NL Central | NL West
2008 Playoff Picks
AL East: Boston Red Sox
AL Central: Detroit Tigers
AL West: Los Angeles Angels
AL Wild Card: Cleveland Indians
NL East: Philadelphia Phillies
NL Central: Milwaukee Brewers
NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers
NL Wild Card: Atlanta Braves
Division Series
Cleveland Indians vs. Boston Red Sox
Los Angeles Angels vs. Detroit Tigers
Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers
League Championship Series
Detroit Tigers vs. Boston Red Sox
Atlanta Braves vs. Milwaukee Brewers
World Series
Atlanta Braves vs. Boston Red Sox
Pick: Boston Red Sox in seven games.
Not only will this be one of the best World Series we've seen in many years, it will come right down to the last game. Many people underestimate this Braves club and will soon learn the error in their ways. Coming in as a wild card after barely losing the division to the Phillies, the Braves will go on a torrid run beating all in their path. As far as the Red Sox, well they are just too good of a ball club not to win it again. They will rake through the American League for the most part before running into a tough Braves team. And as I mentioned above, it will be a fantastic series. Oh and David Ortiz will hold the World Series MVP trophy high over his head.
I hope you all have enjoyed my picks over the past week as I know I have had a great time writing them. It has sparked some great debates over teams and my rankings in the comments section. Hopefully you all share with me how you feel about these picks as well as what yours are. Also don't forget tomorrow's final installment with my favorite part where I pick the 2008 individual awards.
