I'd probably swap out my hottest pitcher from Cishek to Bailey or Colon solely based on the fact that I don't own Cishek... Forgot to change it I copied it from the last one I did so I guess forgot to change that part but will later |

 National League Division Series (NLCS) Matchup New York MetsHad a controversy about a situation that was fixed according to some managers but now the Mets are focusing on the playoffs looking to get to the World Series for the first time after coming off there first post season win beating the Rockies with ease. The Mets are looking red hot now being lead by 3 guys offensively Yunel Escobar, Prince Fielder, and Joey Votto. Prince has been traded now to the Astros but the deal won't be finalized until the Mets lose or win. As of right now I don't see them trading him for at least 2 weeks. With Wright supposed to be returning Tuesday the Mets are probably jumping for joy to start him over Donnie Murphy who has been struggling this post season. Despite League and Turner the Mets pitchers have been outstanding, while the Cardinals could use help. Another player returning from a short DL stint will be Felix Hernandez who did not throw at all against the Rockies. Hot Hitter: Prince Fielder 20/49 AB 5 R 3 HR 10 RBI's 4 BB 0 SB .404 .444 .653 Hot Pitcher: Koji Uehara 7.1 IP 0 H 0 ER 0 BB 12 K's 5 SV 1 W 0.00 ERA 0.00 WHIP Player to Watch: David WrightVS. St. Louis CardinalsSo far the last 2 years the St. Louis Cardinals have yet to lose a National League Match up but the Mets are what is standing in there for a 2nd straight clean sweep on the NL. After Destroying the Reds 10-4 last week close the the prediction that was given out. The Cardinals are going on to a much tougher match against the Mets. The main problem for the Cardinals right now is that Mike Trout hit under .140 last week, which if he repeats the Cardinals would be in big trouble. The Cardinals rotation has looked great the last 2 weeks since the post season started but Garza and Samardzja are currently struggling with era's over 5. Had the Cardinals played the Mets the last 2 weeks they would have lost both match ups so as of right now you could say that the Cardinals are a big underdog the way there offense has been hitting. Hot Hitter: Mike Trout 21/48 AB 7 R 1 HR 4 RBI's 12 BB 4 SB .438 .550 .604 Hot Pitcher: Bartolo Colon 21.1 IP 13 H 2 ER 3 BB 24 K's 3 QS 2 W 0.84 ERA 0.75 WHIP Player to Watch: Mike TroutNew York Mets 8-5-1 St.Louis Cardinals 5-8-1 The Cardinals look for another appearance in the World Series but according to me they will not make it and right now my predictions are pretty accurate. The Cardinals offense has been cold the last 2 weeks, while the Mets have been on fire. The pitching last week as a big difference. So for now the Mets are the top dog coming out of the NL to play ..... |

 American League Division Series (ALDS) Kansas City RoyalsThe Royals made the post season for the first time this season in team history and have already taken out arguably the 2 best teams in the league. They defeated the Tigers who are considered the best 8-6 and easily cruised by the White Sox. They now will face the Rays who seem to be the underdog in the match up. In the first match up the 2 teams had this season the Rays got the better of the Royals by beating them 2-11-1 and had many wondering if the Royals were an example of the 2012 Marlins and 2013 Blue Jays, but the team made a heroic comeback in the Wild Card and are now the most feared team in the playoffs. The 2nd match up the 2 teams had the teams ended up tying. So the Royals have only improved when playing the Rays and the only way they can improve now is with a Win. The Royals offense and pitching staff was one of the best in the post season and would have beat any team in the playoffs last week. So the team is red hot and the Rays are looking like a sinking ship in this match up. Hot Hitter: Andrew McCutchen 38/97 AB 15 R 2 HR 15 RBI's 19 BB 6 SB .392 .487 .546 Hot Pitcher: Clayton Kershaw 35.2 IP 24 H 4 ER 11 BB 36 K's 4 QS 3 W 1.01 ERA 0.98 WHIP Player to Watch: Jered WeaverVS Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays are probably feeling very unfortunate because had the Rays played the Royals last week they would have beat the Royals. So both teams are going into this match up red hot but the Rays chances of having back to back performances like they just had are very unlikely. James Shields seems to be the main and only concern pitching wise for the Rays the last 2 weeks he has a era over 5.75 and will start 2 times for the Rays this week so he is the main player right now he will need to get the Rays running out of the gates. The only other concern the Rays should have is Freese, and there CF position who none are playing good right now Colby is the only doing okay but only had 7 AB this past week. The Rays have the better all time record against the Royals in the season but never playing the Royals in the playoffs are way different and could be a different story. As of right now the Rays would need Shields and Freese to pick up the pace to get off on the right foot. Hot Hitter: Matt Holliday 39/112 AB 21 R 5 HR 24 RBI's 13 BB 3 SB .348 .430 .563 Hot Pitcher: Max Scherzer 34.2 IP 19 H 6 ER 11 BB 32 K's 5 QS 4 W 1.56 ERA 0.87 WHIP Player to Watch: James ShieldsMatchup Prediction:Tampa Bay Rays 3-11 Kansas City Royals 11-3 I expect the Royals to cruise by the Rays much like they did against the White Sox and will have a very tough opponent in the Mets in the World Series. The Rays will go home once again in the post season but this time should have there heads held high as this is as far they made it despite having what some consider the easiest AL opponent in the playoffs this year (Rangers). Stay tuned to see who the winner will be as of right now its a 83% chance these match ups are predicted correct and after this week if the predictions are correct it will rise up to 88%. |

i dont see the rays-royals matchup being that one-sided...for one rays outperformed the whitesox and the both the rays and royals have studly lineup should be a close match.
