MLB Postseason Predictions, Attempt #2

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a week, but I want to get these baseball predictions out before ALCS game 1 is too far underway:

ALCS
Rangers over Yankees in 6
MVP: Josh Hamilton

Okay, I'm cheating a bit, as Hamilton just hit a 3 run HR to put the Rangers ahead 3-0 in the 1st. But I had the Rangers in 6 from the start. Quite frankly, Burnett can't win and Lee can't lose.

NLCS
Giants over Phillies in 7
MVP: Tim Lincecum

I picked the Giants to win the NLCS (albeit over the Reds) last week, so might as well stick with it. I think 3 of the 4 wins will be by Lincecum, making him an easy MVP choice.

MLB Postseason Predictions

I made predictions before the season, and while I'm sure they weren't accurate, I would be taking accountability for them if I had them on me. Unfortunately they are on my old laptop, so that will have to wait a couple of weeks. With the playoffs now set, here are my postseason predictions:

ALDS
Twins over Yankees in 4
Rays over Rangers in 5

NLDS
Reds over Phillies in 5
Giants over Braves in 3

ALCS
Rays over Twins in 5
MVP: Evan Longoria

NLCS
Giants over Reds in 4
MVP: Tim Lincecum

World Series
Rays over Giants in 6
MVP: Carl Crawford

As for the managerial openings:

Mets (more on them later tonight): Bobby Valentine
Cubs: Ryne Sandberg
Mariners: Joey Cora
Braves: Fredi Gonzalez
Marlins: Tim Wallach
Brewers: Willie Randolph
Pirates: Mike Quade
Blue Jays: Eric Wedge
