Post-Season Predictions Welcomed Here

[Dave Borton]

I am hoping Reds win and eliminate the darn Mets and their exorbitant payroll. Enjoy Reds radio broadcast this afternoon as the Reds move on to the post-season.

 

I look at two things in post season. Who has momentum and who has the best record against teams above .500. While Cleveland has momentum, they don’t have the bats. Post season is all about pitching.

 

We are going to see Brewers vs. Phillies and the Blue Jays vs. Seattle. Yankees pitching is suspect, though they have momentum. Out in the first round. I enjoy Dodgers broadcasts but in listening to them, I find that they too are suspect on the mound despite all their notoriety. If you get a chance, listen to a Reds game when Hunter Greene is pitching. Kid if fabulous.

 

I like the Phillies and Mariners in the World Series. Mariners in 6 games. Polanco for the ring and parade.

This would be cool. Jorge had some tough injuries the past few years which sapped his swing. 2025 has been a great season for him. He is a very tough out with risp and a guy teammates look to.

No predictions this year for me. Go underdogs!

The brackets are interesting this year — the three AL East teams competing against Detroit///Cleveland and Seattle for the ALCS.

Padres Dodgers in the NLCS. I like Seattle in the AL

Boone is getting his exercise with walks to the mound today.
