And if that happens, prepare to hear that exact argument against a salary cap for the next 10 years. I'm not passing judgment either way...just pointing out that you should be careful what you wish for.

Anyway, my guesses, and the last few years I've been pretty horrendous at this:

ALDS
White Sox over Rays in 5
I call this to be one of the best series in the whole playoffs. The Rays are a much better team and deserve to win, I'm just calling momentum and a gut feeling for the White Sox.
Angels over Red Sox in 4
I know everybody's going to think I'm biased here, and on paper I'd never pick the Angels to beat the Red Sox. But I've been favoring the Angels all year long so I'll just go with it.

NLDS
Dodgers over Cubs in 4
I'd love a sweep, myself.
Brewers over Phillies in 4

ALCS
Angels over White Sox in 4
Snoozefest

NLCS
Dodgers over Brewers in 6

WS
Angels over Dodgers in 4

So there you have it, I have what I myself would consider two of the worst playoff teams competing for the World Series. But series by series, that's just how my predictions played out. I hope I'm wrong (except the Cubs, I hope I'm totally right on the Cubs).
