Sniff Optimism 2013 MLB Post Season Predictions

Oddly enough, my predictions from this season have somewhat played out correctly, which really never happens, but if you go back to my Pre-Season Post and my Mid-Late Season post, things have stayed relatively the same in terms of teams and World Series predictions.

If you have followed my infrequent posts throughout the baseball season, you can probably figure out that my World Series prediction is Oakland defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers.  In my preseason post, I felt the National League was going to win the All-Star Game (still hate this ideal) and the A's were going to sweep and win at home.  Since the AL won the All Star game, I still think the A's win at home, but instead it will take 6 games.

Anyways, here is the rest of my predictions for the 2013 MLB Playoffs starting with the National League

Wild Card - Pittsburgh d. Cincinnati
NLDS 1 - St. Louis d. Pittsburgh in 5
NLDS 2 - Los Angeles d. Atlanta in 4
NLCS - Los Angeles d. St. Louis in 7 - Puig named MVP

And you all know my World Series Prediction, but this is how the teams get there...

Wild Card - Tampa Bay d. Cleveland
ALDS 1 - Boston d. Tampa Bay in 5
ALDS 2 - Oakland d. Detroit in 4
ALCS - Oakland d. Boston in 5 - Donaldson named MVP with Chris Young a close 2nd

World Series - Oakland def. Los Angeles in 6 with Yoenis Cespedes named MVP
