So, let me just start by saying that with 20 games left in the year, there are 6 teams in the AL trying for 2 wildcard bids. I'm not even going to pretend to know how that's going to shake out, but I think I'm just going to use today's standings as the playoff picture itself. Here's how I think it will go:

American League:

Toronto d. Baltimore: coinflip really imo. I just picked the Jays because, well, no reason.

Texas d. Toronto: I think Texas outhits the Jays and moves on in 4.

Cleveland d. Boston: 2016 has been kind to Cleveland in general, and I think that their starting rotation is slightly deeper than Boston's is. Not to mention I liked their acquisition of Andrew Miller, I think it really solidified their bullpen and made it more reliable. Tribe in 5.

National League:

San Francisco d. New York: Mets seem shaky, and the Giants have a lot of veteran postseason presence. I favor them.

Chicago d. San Francisco: I hope the Cubs break their drought. I think they Will. Kris Bryant alone is that damn good. Cubs sweep 'em.

Los Angeles d. Washington: Two teams I haven't watched that much. I'll take Yasiel Puig in 5.

ALCS

Cleveland d. Texas: Good pitching beats good hitting. This will still be a he'll of a series though. Tribe in 7.

NLCS

Chicago d. Los Angeles: It's been 108 years since the Cubs were winners. This is their trap series, but they are definitely talented enough to close the deal. Cubbies in 6.

World Series

Chicago 4, Cleveland 3

I love my Indians. And to be fair, I think their pitching is slightly better on paper. I just think the Cubs will be hungrier for it in the end.

I'm just a casual fan spitballing here. All other opinions are welcome =)
