My 2019 MLB Post-Season Predictions

October is almost here and this means post-season baseball.

Back in March, I predicted a Minnesota Twins-St. Louis Cardinals World Series. I still stand behind this prediction. Here is how we get there.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

AL Wild Card - Tampa Bay Rays vs. Oakland A's

Winner: Tampa Bay Rays

ALDS # 1 - Tampa Bay Rays vs. Houston Astros (Best 3 out of 5)

Winner: Rays in 4

ALDS # 2 - Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees (Best 3 out of 5)

Winner: Twins in 5

ALCS - Tampa Bay Rays vs. Minnesota Twins (Best 4 out of 7)

Winner: Twins in 7

ALCS MVP: Max Kepler, Minnesota Twins

NATIONAL LEAGUE

NL Wild Card - Milwaukee Brewers vs. Washington Nationals

Winner: Washington Nationals

NLDS # 1 - Washington Nationals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (Best 3 out of 5)

Winner: Dodgers in 3

NLDS #2 - St. Louis Cardinals vs. Atlanta Braves (Best 3 out of 5)

Winner: Cardinals in 4

NLCS - St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (Best 4 out of 7)

Winner: Cardinals in 7

NLCS MVP: Yadier Molina, St. Louis Cardinals

2019 World Series: Minnesota Twins vs. St. Louis Cardinals (Best 4 out of 7)

Winner: Cardinals in 7

World Series MVP: Paul Goldschmidt

We shall see if this comes to pass. It is entirely possible the Brewers could throw a wrench into this scenario tomorrow night. Or this could be my Don Larsen moment of baseball perfection.
