I am now intrigued by the possibility of picking every series wrong except for one (Cardinals in round one).

My picks for the Division series champions: Mets and A’s.

    […] Last year, I experienced a level of playoff prediction failure previously unprecedented in my life. Of the seven series in the baseball playoffs, I predicted exactly one correctly. […]
