Houston in 6
Nats in 7

Incidentally this the closest I have ever lived to an LCS venue. I now work less than a mile from Nats Park. (I wasn't living in Seattle when they went.
I grew up in Chevy Chase, Md, where do you reside?

I was working on site in Gaithersberg at AstraZeneca when he picked me up to go to an M's Nats game a few years ago.

I pick Yankees and Nationals.

Are the Dodgers the best team over a 3 year stretch not to win a World Series?

This, again, is why playoffs in baseball mean so little. The regular season determines the best teams. The Astros should be playing the Dodgers if their must be some little tournament at the end of a 162 game season.
The Nationals' started off the season 19-31. Since then, they've matched the Astros and Dodgers for the best record in baseball. And they just beat the Dodgers. And yet you still want the Dodgers in the WS because you consider them the better team...ok

I side with the man that invented Tiki Bars over some pretentious classical musician(s) any day.

Yes, I'm thinking in terms of fun, fair, and competitive. IMO, It's most fun (and easier) to just fill out the whole bracket at the beginning rather than go round by round. But, in a round by round format, it's definitely to your advantage if you know what the other players have picked before you make your selections, especially going into the WS round. If you need to catch up to someone, you absolutely must pick the opposite WS winner as them.
