The brewing bad blood between players and owners aside, baseball is on quite a roll the last couple of years, with compelling postseasons culminating in World Series Game 7s, one of them resulting in the historic Cubs' title.
How do they top that? How about a Yankees-Cubs Fall Classic?
Think that get might some TV ratings, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton taking aim at the Ivy in the Friendly Confines, Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber bombing away in the Bronx?
There is almost nothing harder to predict than which teams will survive the crapshoot that is the postseason, but if I don't say so myself, I'm on a roll after calling the Astros over the Dodgers in this same space a year ago.
Not to mention Jose Altuve as AL MVP.
Hey, it doesn't happen often, so I'm milking it for all it's worth. Humbly speaking, of course.
So for what it's worth, I'm picking the Yankees to survive the AL playoffs, the Cubs to find that extra gear they were missing last year, and Aaron Boone to outmanage Joe Maddon in another classic World Series.
