Since I'd like to play and also be fair and not cheat like the admins in sheep, I will post my own entry as an example:

Astros over Yankees
Cubs over Pirates

Astros in 4
Blue Jays in 4
Cards in 3
Dodgers in 3

Blue Jays in 5
Dodgers in 6

Dodgers in 7
 
Feel free to post your entry instead of PMing if you want.
 
Just PMed mine before I saw your instructions to post. Thanks for starting the contest.
 
Sent mine in. Obviously the Bucs win it all.
 
Astros are a very slight favorite against the Yankees. A little surprised since the Astros have generally struggled on the road, and Kuechel will be starting on 3 days rest. Then again, the Yankees have been awful of late losing 6 of 7.

Every year, baseball playoffs bring major surprises as both road wild-cards won pennants last year.

I'd love a matchup of the Jays bats against the Dodgers arms.
 
So far only avalon making bold predictions about the # of games it will take each Wild Card winner. She's in it for the bonus points.
 
I can't believe all you jokers are leaving points on the table like that.
