[ReasonablySober]

LMAO god the Giants have a huge reason to be pissed and DOOOOOOONNNNNNN'TTTTT CAAAAARRREEEEE.

When they put up this years Wild Card pennant at the stadium (hate that they celebrate merely getting a WC to begin with...), it should go on a bathroom door or somewhere equally fitting.

Giants had to face the Dodgers, Padres and A's for nearly half their games while we dicked around with the Pirates and the rest of the mediocre shit pile that was the NL Central and we still finished with the same record as them and only got in because our division record was a couple games better because we played in a much worse division.

So we picked neither?

Im not sure we can win the whole damn thing but I do like your attitude twirly.

So the Brewers have to be the worst playoff team in MLB history right? Therefore I predict they win the World Series.

If they take a game from the dodgers and freak them out a bit, Ill be happy.

The Brewers clearly don't deserve to be in the playoffs, but now that I think about it, isn't it pretty much impossible to compare strength of schedule? There are no common opponents outside of any of the 3 interleague divisions, so it's a chicken-or-egg paradox. You could argue that the NL Central is mediocre because they had to play themselves so much. Yeah, they had a losing record against the AL Central, but the Pirates account for that entire margin and then some, and it's only 100 total games involving 10 different teams so it's not very robust data.

I think the AL Central and NL Central are both solid divisions overall. It's probably more accurate to just focus on the talent they had coming into the year, like we would have done to compare the AL to the NL before interleague play, than look at results in a 60-game season with the most imbalanced schedule ever.

This godforsaken team making the playoffs is proof they expanded too much. Not sure what the perfect solution is because I also kind of hate the 1 game wild card. Maybe go back to just two divisions per league, 6 teams make it and the two division winners get a bye. But then you have layoff concerns. IDK

Honestly, the Marlins are arguably worse. -41 run differential as opposed to the -17 of the Brewers. Of course, divisional opponents/schedule can argue otherwise, hard to say.

Which makes sense with your prediction. The Marlins will win the World Series because they've literally never lost a playoff series.
