LOD Postseason Bracketology

The “sixty game sprint” has come to an end and there are plenty of surprises entering the postseason.   For the first time ever, 16 teams will compete in all.  The one game elimination Wild Card game is no more.  There will be plenty of new faces in the postseason this year as the Marlins, Reds, Padres and White Sox end their droughts.  A non-traditional season could yield unpredictable results.  Our writers decided to weigh in.  Here’s a look:
