The favorite WS matchup is a Indians-Dodgers World Series.

I have the right to change picks once postseason officially starts, but here it is:

A.L.W.C.
Yankees def. Twins

N.L.W.C.
Rockies def. D'backs

ALDS
Indians def. Yanks in 5
Red Sox def. Astros in 5 (Still rooting for a Yanks-Red Sox ALCS 2017)

NLDS
Dodgers def. Rockies in 4 (This is a potential upset, remember Phillies 2011)
Nationals def. Cubs in 5

ALCS
Indians def. Red Sox in 6

NLCS
Dodgers def. Nationals in 7

WORLD SERIES
Dodgers def. Indians in 7

(Dodgers have the highest payroll in baseball, like Yanks', anything less than a WS is failure)

ALWC tonight: Yankees make the Twins-Yankees ALWC game competitive with a 3-3 game.

The Yankees Win! The Yankees Win!!!

The Indians are clearly a cursed team...haven't won the World Series in 69 years (1948).

I'm a Yankee fan, so I am disappointed that the Yankees are not in it.

However, I see the Dodgers winning the 2017 World Series in 7.

Glad to see a Yankee-free World Series.

Both would be deserving of being World Series champion, but there can only be one winner. Go Astros!

It would have been good for ratings.

Joe Girardi is out as Yankees manager...apparently getting to within one game of the World Series wasn't enough for Brian Cashman...or Hal Steinbrenner.

What a dumb decision. Girardi is a very good manager, one of the more capable ones in baseball.

In this Hal Steinbrenner is echoing his father... he would have fired Girardi too.

The Yankees are all about winning World Series championships. One championship (2009) is not enough. Girardi was a good manager, but the Yankees want more.

This World Series may be one of the best in a while..even than last year's Cubs' victory.
