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

LOS ANGELES DODGERS defeat NEW YORK METS, 3-2

ATLANTA BRAVES defeat ST. LOUIS CARDINALS, 3-0

ALCS

CLEVELAND GUARDIANS defeat HOUSTON ASTROS, 4-2

NLCS

WORLD SERIES

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!
