Hey all, we are roughly a week away from the playoffs and I figured I'd do some forecasting of what the playoffs would look like if the playoffs played out like the regular season did performance wise. I know its only based on a week or two in the playoffs, but in theory, this should be what happens. Feel free to discuss and post your predictions below.
AL Playoff Teams: Twins, Red Sox, Astros, WC: Mariners
NL Playoff Teams: Dodgers, Reds, Mets, WC: DBacks*
*Dodgers play Mets in this scenario because on the no-within same division rule. This also was in effect in many past chin music playoffs.

Welp, there it is. The depressing reality of how this "should" play out. Squeaking by in a tiebreaker in round one and going on to win the World Series. Odd to think that the Dodgers would go down in round one but roto its much different than h2h especially in a 30 team league. Anyway, your predictions below! Including if you think the Cubs can sneak into the playoffs (currently 7 pts out) and make some noise.
