This is a popular little thing to do, and I figure I might as well look at the playoffs. You might expect me to be thinking of the NBA, or perhaps the NHL right now, but no, I think it's never too early to eye the Fall Classic.
AL East: Boston
AL Central: Kansas City
AL West: Anaheim
Wild Card: A 3-team playoff to get the wild-card spot! How exciting! NY, Seattle and Cleveland would face off.
NL East: Washington
NL West: San Diego
NL Cental/Wild Card: Talk about the closest pennant race in history! The Reds, Brewers, Pirates and Cardinals would all have to duke it out to see who wins the division. Then you have to add in the Mets and Dodgers to see who gets the Wild Card.
Projected Bracket:
The Royals, the only undefeated team--ergo the best team in baseball--get the 1 seed in the AL. They face off against the Yankees who get the Wild Card. Boston vs Anaheim is the other first round matchup.
In the NL, looks like Padres vs Mets and Nationals vs, let's say, the Brewers.
the royals are on pace to be 162-0. that's never been done before.
