The MLB season is coming to a close as many teams are starting to punch their tickets into the postseason. So far the Yankees, Dodgers, Braves, and Astros have all clinched with still many more to clinch as the remainder of the season progress. With that being said, I will tell you in my opinion which teams/matchups you should go for and which you should stay away from if your drafting in the MLB Pick Draft Contest.
Lets Begin with the teams/matchups that I would go after without question. I would go for the Washington Nationals who play the Marlins this weekend in South Beach. This series means more to the Nats than it does to the Fish as the Nationals are in a tight wild card race. The next team I would take is Minnesota at home taking on the Royals.For the same reason as the Nationals, they are battling in a tight division race as the Indians took game one of their series against Philadelphia, 6-2. I also like Atlanta taking on San Francisco, as Atlanta can use some wins for momentum heading into the playoffs as they clinched the NL East Crown Today. I finally would take Oakland at home against Texas as the A’s are in a tight wild card race with Cleveland and Tampa Bay right behind them.
For Matchups/Teams I would be on the fence about picking would be PIT@MIL, SEA@BAL, CWS@DET, TOR@NYY, LAA@HOU, and ARI@SD. The reason I would be on the fence from picking some of these games is that it seems like there are some easy picks but they could be risky, but could come with a reward. Some of the Teams that are Risk and Rewards would be the Yankees, Mariners, DBacks, White Sox, Brewers and Astros. Teams like Houston or New York have divisional matchups on paper that look easy but could cause them fits. That goes the same for Seattle, Arizona, Milwaukee, and Chicago as there matchups could also cause fits but they have a likely chance of winning their respective games including Houston and New York.
Finally we take look at the teams/matchups I would stay away from as these are impossible to pick almost. The first game and set of teams I would stay away from picking is Boston and Tampa Bay. This heated rivalry has always been so unpredictable as even though Boston is eliminated from playoff contention they will still play hard as if they were in a playoff race and obviously for Tampa there in a playoff race. Also St. Louis and the Chicago Cubs is impossible to pick as both teams are not only fighting for who will make the wild card but who even will win the NL Central, which in my opinion is the most competitive division in the NL. Other teams/games to stay away from would be PHI@CLE, NYM@CIN, and COL@LA. Now if people are wondering why Cincinnati and Colorado matchups should be stayed away from? Its because these teams still play hard even though there out of it, especially Colorado, who gave fits to LA’s starting pitcher on the 2nd, Walker Buehler.
So that’s it folks. To everyone who participates good luck and happy picking.
