Major League Baseball - Playoff Predictions Contest
The MLB playoffs are set to start this Wednesday after a crazy, down to the wire regular season. This thread is where we can discuss the playoffs and make predictions, as well as having a little fun.
The predictions contest will be limited to 10 participants. To sign up, there is a thread in the GSD.
To play, here's what you do:
Each round, predict who will win each series and in how many games. Please give an explanation as to why each team will win or what your prediction for the series is. Non-spam, of course. Example:
Yankees over Twins in 5 games. The Yankees seem to own the Twins, though the gap this year is closed. The Yanks can run CC Sabbathia out twice, but the rest of their rotation is suspect. They still have the best October closer in history with Mo Rivera, though, so the Yanks should survive in 5.
You must predict ALL series to play the game.
If you are correct with the team who wins, you earn a maximum of 5 points. For each game you are off in terms of the # of games it takes, you lose 1 point. For example, if you predict "Reds win in 4" and they win in 5, you get 4 points (5 -1 = 4). So in the later rounds, if you predict a sweep and it goes 7, you get 2 points. You get no points for predicitng the wrong team winning.
We will ask the participants to post each round. You must post predictions by the start of the 1st game for that round.
Good luck and have fun!
