Here's a sneak preview on what the baseball playoff pool will look like: http://www.geocities.com/magnetonium2/ .
I have to say that I've done it for the 4th year in a row now, and noone, I mean NOONE that has participated in it has picked the winner. But, this is the first time TA's finest will be in on this baseball pool. And, maybe this year it won't be the underdogs who's spoil the fun!
If you have any questions or suggestions with regards to the points system, let me know. Also, if there will be a "one game playoff" this year, then this will be an additional 2 point bonus if you pick the winner.
I have a complex tie-breaking procedure in case a tie for leader happens (hasn't happened in 3 previous years) that I could post later.
On sunday, once the playoff positions are solidified, you can post your playoff picks here on TA and I will promptly organize them. Submission due date is the first game of playoffs start time. Cheers.
Here's an example of how I'd like to see your pool submissions (AN EXAMPLE, NOT MY PICKS YET):
AL: NYY beat Red Sox in 5
White Sox defeat Angels in 5
Yankees defeat White Sox in 7
NL: Cardinals defeat Braves in 3
Astros defeat Padres in 5
Cardinals defeat Astros in 7
WS: Cardinals defeat Yankees in 6. |

New York and Boston can't face each other in the Division Series.
I think it will be Red Sox vs. White Sox and Yankees vs. Angels if you look at their respective records. |

Yes yes, you are right. Good point. How's the pool structure? Good? |

Yep, structure is good.
But I think we need to wait for the official announcements as to who's playing who. But here's my theory.
Yanks vs Angels - Yanks in 4
Red Sox vs White Sox - Red Sox in 5.
Yanks vs Red Sox - Yanks in 6 or 7.
St. Louis vs. San Diego - Cards in 3
Houston vs. Atlanta - Braves in 5.
Cards vs. Braves - Cards in 6
Yanks vs. Cards - Yanks in 7.
I'm biased but I have a feeling!:D |

Yep, I'll stick with them.
I'm miffed that the Yanks didn't play harder today against the Red Sox to get home field advantage over the Angels but we'll still beat em. |
