10th Annual Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web League Championship Finals

 

Wow what a couple of great LCS's!! Both going to game 7 and both looked like they might be run aways.  I was rooting for a Braves - Rays match-up. But damn if the Dodgers don't look tough to beat again.  That being said the Dodgers were the favorite to win the whole thing this year, at least judging from your entries and that also means we have a ton of people still technically alive moving into the World Series.  That being said what we actually have is a five way race now.

We have three picks that chose the Rays to win the World Series, none of those have the correct opponent so we'd have to move to # of games in series and maybe even into the double total.  But if the Dodgers end up finally winning there are two picks that correctly picked the Dodgers to defeat the Rays!

Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web 9 - League Championship Break Down

Wow what an interesting round of baseball.  The Nats swept the Cards, and the Astros finally took out the Yankees.  I'm going to be rooting for the Nats in this one.  No offense to Astros fans or the bulk of you who picked the Astros to win.  I just love rooting for the underdog.  Lets just hope all that time off hasn't cooled them down. 

It would have been a very different landscape had the Yankees been able to take the series, but as it is we have a David and Goliath match up here.  The bulk of the picks were for the Astros and rightfully so, but one man picked the Nats to go all the way.  Not only picked the Nats but picked them early.  Way to go CaptKirk42

Nobody that picked the Astros picked the Nationals as their opponent is it'll come down to games and dingers to decide that winner if the Astros take the series.

Enjoy the World Series and thanks to all those who played I'll be back after the series to announce the winners.

7th Annual Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web - League Championship Series Break Down

Well this was almost a very interesting contest had the Yankees been able to close out the American League Championship.  As it is we last only 5 that round, and while technically anyone who picked the Dodgers or the Astros is still in it, since we have to go to the first tie breakers we can say that there are still  really 6 contestants left, which is actually quite a lot.  6 of you guys correctly picked the match up.  Only time will tell if anyone gets as close as Gavin did last year with his winning pick.

Alright enjoy the World Series.  I'll post the winner and the door prize winner after the last game is played.

6th Annual Almost the Easiest World Seriers Contest on the Web - Championship Round Up

Here we are.  A day away from the start of the World Series.  What a crazy if not predictable outcome.  It's funny I took a look back at my original prediction which was used to demonstrate the format of the contest picks and I got both teams right!  What's even better is that we had 4 people also correctly guess the two teams that will make up this 112th match-up.

Over all we had 14 people pick the Cubs to win it all and two for the tribe.  So that's 16 people who made it this far.  But of course that means we have to take it to the tie breakers and we had 4 people, 3 for the Cub and one for the Indians, correctly guess the match up. Those people are in Green.

If the Indians win TSHenson wins outright.  If the Cubs win we'll have to take it to the next tie breaker, total games in the series.  Of which Adam K, Michael O., and defgav all picked different numbers.

Here's a look at the picks coming out of the league championships.  Good luck and enjoy the series!
