UB's Entry

In the grand tradition of ‘the playoffs are a crapshoot,’ I have picked every series by flipping a coin for each game (a Maryland quarter, to be precise). Heads is a win for the home team, tails a win for the road. Results -

DS:
Angels over BoSox / 5 games
White Sox over Rays / 3 games (!)

Cubs over Dodgers / 4 games
Brewers over Phillies / 4 games

CS:
Angels over White Sox / 5 games

Cubs over Brewers / 6 games

WS:
Angels over Cubs / 7 games (after the Cubs take a 3-1 lead, no less).

Total Dodger wins: 1

While this was decidedly unsatisfying in terms of producing unusual results (Angels-Cubs WS, that’s a rarity), there were far more ‘road’ wins than I actually expect to happen.

We’ll see.

Glad you and Wrongy made it

for a while it was all new registers. I like how Andrew has yet to weigh in.

Didn’t you tell me that we had no chance in hell a month ago and now you are picking them to win the World Series? I never took you for a homer.
