While I appreciate that they like the Cards over PIT, it's nuts that 83% of people think the Buccos couldn't take us in a 5 game series.

Given their accuracy in recent years, allow me to be the first to congratulate the Pirates on their first WS victory in 34 years.

Pittsburghs issue all year has been their offense. It's not consistent enough. Luckily they have a decent rotation and a strong bullpen. Allowing them to compete in lower scoring games.

I'd be happy with Morneau getting the GW RBI via HR in tonight's wild card game. It would be his first HR with the team. Backing up Liriano's pitching. He is fantastic pitching at home and below average on the road this year.
 
Re: MLB 2013 - This Bud's for you!

I am almost as nervous for the Pirates tonight as I would be for my own team.

PIT advancing deals some damage to most everyone's chances, as they jump into 4th most likely to take it all.
 
Re: MLB 2013 - This Bud's for you!

And we advance to the League Division Series with both favorites taking the WC games. We'll see how the predictions hold up in this next round.

Curiously enough, STL, ATL, and OAK all have the exact same chance (within rounding error) to win an individual game against their opponents. This will change, but it's an interesting quirk.

Better than a 50% chance that the Cards will wrap this up in Pittsburgh.
