MLB Postseason Predictions with the Legends on Deck Team

From MLB.com

October is upon us!  This means less sleep for committed baseball fans like us. The new Wild Card format now allows for six teams in both the American and National League.  The Wild Card round will go from a one game playoff to a best of three series.  The top two teams in each league get a first round bye.  While we all have our favorites, it’s often difficult to make the correct predictions about who advances and takes the ultimate prize.  The Legends on Deck crew all made their picks.
