Everyone Loves A Contest #18: 2015 Postseason

When it came to predicting the Red Sox's 2015 won-loss record, JoS readers were, once again, an extremely optimistic bunch. The guesses ranged from 82-103 wins, but the Olde Towne Team finished at 78-84.

So the contest prize - a paperback copy of Peter Golenbock's Red Sox Nation: The Rich And Colorful History Of The Boston Red Sox - will be rolled over to a Postseason Contest.

This is probably too tough, but what the hell. Correctly predict the winner of every postseason series.

An example:
ALWC: Astros over Yankees
ALDS: Blue Jays over Astros
ALDS: Royals over Rangers
ALCS: Blue Jays over Royals
NLWC: Cubs over Pirates
NLDS: Cubs over Cardinals
NLDS: Dodgers over Mets
NLCS: Cubs over Dodgers
WS:   Cubs over Blue Jays
Contest entries must be emailed to me before the first pitch of the Astros-Yankees game (Tuesday, 8 PM).

    Even the most pessimistic JOSer was too optimistic for this season!

    The "experts" at ESPN like the Blue Jays.

    ESPN: "Of our 23 baseball analysts surveyed, none have New York making it past the ALDS this postseason. There aren't many that have the Yankees winning Tuesday's wild-card game, either."

    70 years ago today, Billy Sianis and his pet billy goat are ejected from Wrigley Field during Game 4 of the 1945 World Series. Since then, the Cubs have failed to return to the Fall Classic.
