MLB's regular season concluded today, and it was quite the finish. In case you missed any of the action, here's the day in a nutshell.
The Mets completed the worst collapse in the history of baseball, blowing a seven-game lead with 17 games left in the season. The Phillies did their part and now have the NL East title to show for it. The Rockies beat Arizona, while the Padres fell to Milwaukee, meaning there will be a one-game playoff tomorrow between the Rockies and Padres. The winner makes the playoffs as the wild card, while the loser's season is over. The Cubs and Diamondbacks held already wrapped up their divisions in the NL. In the AL, the divisions have been sorted out for some time now.
Here's a look at the first round match ups:
NL - Chicago at Arizona, San Diego/Colorado at Philadelphia
AL - Anaheim at Boston, New York at Cleveland
In my playoff predictions that I posted about two weeks ago, I predicted all of the playoff teams correctly - except for the Mets. In fact, I had the Mets representing the National League in the World Series. Oops. It's hard for me to know what to think of the NL. I honestly don't see a favorite out of the five teams still alive. I'd say the Phillies and Rockies (if they make it) have the best shot at the World Series, based just on their offensive power.
But I'm still pretty positive the World Series champion is going to come from the American League. All four of the AL teams are substantially better than the five NL teams. I'm still going with the Red Sox - for now. We'll see after the playoffs start.
