MLB Divisional Round Predictions

The Division Series are here around Major League Baseball. We got some heavy hitters left standing in a season that started with thirty two teams and are now down to eight. So lets not waste anymore time, here's what we got for the divisional round.

ALDS: Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners
Look, the Tigers were a good team most of the year, they were. But they ended up blowing it down the stretch and backed into the playoffs. Then dispatched the Guardians in the Wild Card round. They can hit and they can pitch. What's going to end up killing them is the fact that they stumbled badly down the stretch. Now they come up against a deeper and more balanced Seattle team who's got one of the best hitters right now in Cal Raleigh. Yes, there is more to the Seattle game than just Cal, but he's the straw that stirs that drink. It's going to be maybe a win if that for Detroit against a superior team.

Pick: Seattle in 4!

ALDS: New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays
A battle of AL East teams in this round and its going to be an entertaining series. This was no fluke that the Blue Jays managed to win the division as a 94-win team. They are a balanced team, even if the pitching staff has been a bit inconsistent and Bo Baciette has missed time. But they are going up against a very tough and balanced divisional foe in the New York Yankees. With the amount of talent that's come on this year in the Bronx, they may be a very hard team to take down in this playoffs.

Pick: Yankees in 5'

NLDS: Los Angeles Dodgers vs Philadelphia Phillies
A battle of two teams that seemed to be hitting their stride at just the right time this year. This is going to be a slugfest and it fells like it could be more the way of the year for Philly. Why? Because the Dodgers feel like they've had it most of the year. Meanwhile the Phillies had to fight and claw their way back (Mets collapse aside) to overtake the division and then pull away with it late in the season. Both teams are good and balanced throughout, but it just has that feeling to it that this could be a Philly season.

Pick: Phillies in 5

NLDS: Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers
Another interdivisional matchup to make up a series in this divisional round. This is going to be the most even matchup of the divisional round because of how well these two teams really know each other. What gives the edge to the Brewers in this one is a combination of great hitting, solid defense and just as great pitching.

Pick: Brewers in 5
