SB Nation predicts the 2016 MLB postseason

Hello, these 2016 MLB postseason predictions will be wrong. Don’t email us. Don’t seek us out on Twitter. We’re doing this because we’re expected to. Even if all of us picked different World Series champions, we would still be wrong. How?

The Cardinals. Maaaaybe the Yankees. But probably the Cardinals.

Don’t ask about the details. Just fear this alternate reality. So it’s probably a good thing that some of us doubled up on our predicted World Series champions. And please, please, please understand that all of these postseason predictions will be wrong.

Except mine.

To the predictions!

Note: I don’t like being a homer. Consider that I had the Mets over the Mariners in my original predictions from before the season. But a) the only damned time I’ve gotten a prediction right was here, and b) the only one who got their predictions right last year was Bopp, and he was being a total homer. So I’ll begrudgingly set myself up for failure.

And now for the explanations of the other contributors, whoops, they didn’t put this all together, but I did, so I guess they won’t have a voice, sorry about that.

Just know that all of us will be wrong. Congratulations to either the Mets, Indians, Blue Jays, or Orioles, one of whom will win the World Series because none of us saw it coming. All four of them will make the LCS. Again, don’t ask for details. Such is the power of incorrect predictions.
