Predict the 2006 MLB Postseason?

Question

Include as many or as few details as you wish, so long as you play out every round and include the length of each series. Please make the best arguement you can for your predictions.

For anyone that doesn't know: The Division Series is a best three-of-five, not four-of-seven.

Answer 1

i think destiny is with the mets....coming across strong despite major setbacks in the pitching staff is a bad omen for the other teams

Answer 2

ALCS

Tigers-1
Yankees-3

Detroit has been aweful as of late. They will get lucky and take one from the Yanks.

A's-2
Twins-3

These two teams are basically mirror images of each other. The Twins are a slightly better team and will pick up the win.

NLDS

Dodgers-3
Mets-2

No Pedro gives the Dodgers a clear pitching edge. This will be the difference in the series.

Cardinals-0
Padres-3

The Cardinals don't even deserve to be here with the way they played the last month and a half. Their stay in the playoffs will be short.

NLCS

Dodgers-4
Padres-2

Dodgers have again better pitching and are a better overall team. The Padres will not be able to keep up.

ALCS

Twins-4
Yankees-3

This one could be one for the ages. A small market low-budget team against the favorite Yankees. There is no doubt that the Yankees have more talent, but the Twins are a better team. The Twins have found ways to win in the last three and a half months. While the Yanks will no doubt kick thier asses in one or two games, the series advantage I will give to the underdog Twins.

WS

Twins-4
Dodgers-1

Either the Twins or Yankees will not have a problem easily winning the series against an inferior NL team.

Answer 3

Yankees over the Tigers 3 games to 1.
The Tigers are just playing horrible right now and I can't see them changing that fast enough to beat the Yankees in a 5 game series.

Twins over the Athletics 3 games to 2.
This should be a really good series with both teams having a solid group of players. Overall I think the Twins have the edge and will pull out the series win

Padres over the Cardinals 3 games to 1.
The Padres are playing some good baseball right now and have arguably the best bullpen in baseball. Add that to a solid rotation, good defense, timely hitting, & a poor playing Cards team right now and the Padres should win this series.

Mets over the Dodgers 3 games to 1.
The Dodgers have some big names & solid talent on their team but the Mets team seems to have the edge even without Pedro Martinez.

Twins over the Yankees 4 games to 3.
I haven't had a chance to see many Twins or Yankee games being here in Arizona, but from what I have seen I just don't see the Yankees overpowering the Twins.

Padres over the Mets 4 games to 3.
While the Mets do have the power and some solid pitching to help them in the post-season they won't get past the Padres. They don't need Pedro to beet the Dodgers but I think they would in order to beat the Padres.

Twins over the Padres 4 games to 2.
It should be a good series with some good pitching but in the end the Twins have a better rotation and it should win them the 2006 World Series.

Go D-Backs, 2007 World Series Champions!!!

Answer 4

N.L- well i have the cardinals beating the padres in 6 games.i know the padres have a terrific pitching staff,but i believe that since the cards have more experience and pujols they will come out on top,it will be a exciting series.
N.L-well im a dodger fan so i believe that the dodgers will wini have 2 keep a positive look on this.dodgers will have lowe,penny,maddux,those R 3 good pitchers and all 3 have world series experince.mets have glavine and hernandez u dont know what 2 expect of him.i know the mets have a strong line-up and 2 me the most exciting line-up but i feel the dodgers will stop them,in 7 games.
A.L-well good season 4 the tigers but their season ends here,they will fall to the yanks in 5 games,the yanks R more dominant have more experience and will get the job done.
A.L-twins R a terrific team i say they win in 6 games i dont think that the A's will beat the twins.SANTANA
NL 2nd Round-dodgers and cards,i will put the dodgers over the cards in 6 games,i believe because of their pitchers they can take the series,i think the dodgers have a all around hitting lineup and dept + they R my favorite team.
A.L 2nd round yanks and twins,im gonna take the twins,i know that the yanks have an awesome lineup,and a good pitching staff,but the twins R just so resiliant,im gonna say twins in 7.
WORLD SERIES- im gonna say the twins,even dough im a dodger,4 the past 2 months the way they played i feel that its their year this year.i say twins in 5.
hold on i dint know first round was best of 5-cards in 4,dodgers in 5,yanks in 4,twins in 4.
