I’d go with the Dodgers too. That’s who I would put money on but NOT who I want to win. I’d like to see The Rockies win. They’re overdue and they have a good fan base.
Not that the outcomes are rigged. Just sayin', if they were....
This year’s Indians team is the best I’ve ever seen, managed by the best manager Cleveland has ever had. Anything can happen, but if I were a betting man, I’d bet on the Indians.
NOT the Detroit Tigers
Go Tribe!
Not the Dodgers——any team but them.
.
Seriously, I have no idea. I think the Dodgers and Indians are not as strong as their records would indicate, but the Indians have been red hot and that's usually a clue to who is going to step up on the post-season.
Anybody but the Red Sox!
WS: Indians over Dodgers in 6.
Indians beat the Cubs in 6.
Tribe forever!
Yankees - never!
Japanese Megastar Shohei Otani Reportedly Coming to MLB Next Season
All of the teams win the World Series this year.
They will get some of the money people abandoning the NFL but still watching or taking up baseball spend on memorabilia.
If Diamondbacks get past the Rockies, which they should, the Dodgers will have their hands full and be lucky to get to the NLDS.
On the other side I’d go with Houston or the Indians.
A lot of good teams this year, should be fun to watch. (Anything but the NFL).
Dodgers over Indians
