The Official Sully Baseball Postseason Picks for 2022

So here we go… which fan base will hate me because I picked their team to win it all, ergo jinxing them?

WILD CARD ROUND

CLEVELAND GUARDIANS defeat TAMPA BAY RAYS, 2-0

SEATTLE MARINERS defeat TORONTO BLUE JAYS, 2-1

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS defeat PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES, 2-1

NEW YORK METS defeat SAN DIEGO PADRES, 2-0

AL DIVISION SERIES

HOUSTON ASTROS defeat SEATTLE MARINERS, 3-1

CLEVELAND GUARDIANS defeat NEW YORK YANKEES, 3-2

NL DIVISION SERIES

ATLANTA BRAVES defeat ST. LOUIS CARDINALS, 3-0

ALCS

CLEVELAND GUARDIANS defeat HOUSTON ASTROS, 4-2

NLCS

LOS ANGELES DODGERS defeat ATLANTA BRAVES, 4-3

WORLD SERIES

LOS ANGELES DODGERS defeat CLEVELAND GUARDIANS, 4-0

So there you have it… I predict Cleveland will give Terry Francona another pennant. But another link to the 2004 Red Sox, Dave Roberts, will sweep their way to a title.

OK, let’s get the game started!

Who Owned October (#WOO) – Tallies Updated for American League Wild Card Game – October 5, 2021

Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post

One ace looked the part in the Wild Card Game and the Red Sox bats timed their hits against the Yankees.

Who owned October on October 5?

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO(Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 5, 2021 –

AMERICAN LEAGUE WILD CARD

Receiving 1 WOO

Xander Bogaerts put the Yankees on their heels with a 2 run first inning home run. He would reach base 2 more times in the Red Sox 6-2 win.

Nathan Eovaldi pitched brilliantly into the 6th, finishing with 1 run over 5 1/3 innings, fanning 8 Yankees while walking none to earn the 6-2 decision for the Red Sox.

Receiving 1/2 WOO

Clay Holmes kept the Yankees in the game with 2 shutout innings of relief. The damage was already done as Boston took the 6-2 final

Giancarlo Stanton collected 3 hits, including a home run, but the Yankees lost to Boston in the Wild Card Game, 6-2.
