MLB Playoffs contest

[D-train]

Cards with some sloppy D. Braves up 3-1.

I think Melancon’s arm fell off in the 9th, and Martinez was trying to match him for the sheer drama. I’m still clenched.

Man, those A’s sure do choke in the playoffs!

Must be really frustrating, to be on fire in the second half, only to go to sleep in one lousy game.

And it’s The End.

On April 1 it’s back to 0-0.

Either the A’s are unlucky or our division isn’t as good as it seems
One game to decide sucks.

Cards don't quit..... gotta play nine innings to beat them...

They aren't unlucky. "Moneyball" does not build teams that can win in the playoffs. The playoffs are a diferent game with shortened rotations and bullpens. Money ball builds overall depth but lacks the high end star power to get things done in the playoffs.

True but Moneyball is the only option when you don't have money.

Damn I really made this round of picks with heart instead of my head.

Twins cause Cruz/not Yankees cause Yankees
Not Astros cause Astros
Nats cause no WS/Dodgers cause Dodgers
Not Cards cause Cards

No panic yet but today pitching matchup of Cole vs. bad Snell isn't promising.

The Houston Yankees series is gonna be a Humdinger, Astros 4-3.
