Division Series

Well the MLB playoffs are about to start and so its time to just tell you what is going to happen now so that you don't have to make a choice between watching football and baseball

Tampa Bay vs Texas
Game 1 ( Moore vs Wilson)
        This game seems easy enough Wilson has been a quality starter all year for Texas, while this would be Moore's second career start for Tampa and with the odds with Texas at -180 its pretty easy to see which way I am gonna go on this one.....thats right Tampa Bay takes game 1 as Moore is absolutely dominant...I don't care if he is 22 and this is his second mlb start and its the first game of the playoffs on the road....Tampa wins

Game 2 (Shields vs Holland)
         Surely, Tampa isn't going to win both games in Texas right?.....nope they sure are..Shields last six starts have been against 3 teams: the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rangers.....allowing just one run in 17 innings pitched against the Rangers.....Holland hasn't pitched well against a good team for a while now other than a 7 inning shutout against the Redsox on Sept. 2nd.....Ima give this one to Tampa as well so they are taking a 2 game lead back home with them

Game 3 (my projected starters: Price vs Harrison)
         Now to say that Tampa is going to win in a sweep would be putting me in a tough spot, since if Texas wins one of their games at home I just look silly...buts that's what I am all about Tampa sends out Price to take care of Texas and he outduels Harrison....Tampa wins in 3 games


Detroit vs New York
Game 1 (Verlander vs does it matter?)
            No it doesn't matter who New York sends out there to pitch, because Detroit has Justin Verlander pitching.....Detroit wins

Game 2 (Fister vs Nova)
           The plan for Detroit should really just be to win one of these other games, knowing that Verlander is going to pitch in another game that they are going to win....soooo is this the game to do it?? Yes, yes it is....you know who is pitching almost as good as Justin Verlander....Doug Fister.  He is 7-0 since August 20th having a mind blowing 4 earned runs in 55.2 innings.....so yeah though Philly may have the most feared pitching staff in the playoffs, the Tigers are pretty overlooked well other than Verlander.

Game 3 (Scherzer vs Garcia)
           How can I go against a guy that is from St. Louis and went to Mizzou....I can't Scherzer wins Tigers sweep.


Arizona vs Milwaukee
Game 1 (Kennedy vs Gallardo)
            This is just silly I don't really care about this matchup at all so here we go ummmm...Arizona wins
Game 2 (donk vs donk)
           Milwaukee wins
Game 3 (TBA vs Greinke)
         Im pretty sure I can outpitch TBA so Milwaukee
Game 4 (TBA vs TBA)
          seems like a pretty even pitching matchup so Arizona
Game 5 (TBA vs TBA)
         Get the joke Equestria Daily......Milwaukee wins in 5

Now you may be thinking to yourself....wow why even make a post if you aren't gonna do it seriously...well look you are coming to a blog with a bunch of ponies all around looking for advice on what is going to happen in sports now that's just silly (note: that it really isn't silly and you should continue to do so).  Truth be told I see the 12 to 1 that Bodog is offering on the Cardinals to win the World Series and think wowy I had them at 225 to 1 so I already won...which is why I am making bets on the Cards (12 to 1), Tigers (7 to 1), and Tampa (9 to 1)....assuming that the Cardinals are going to win the World Series against one of those two teams (the Tigers)
