American League Championship Series

1985 St. Louis Cardinals (90-72) vs 2016 Los Angeles Dodgers (100-62)

Despite a bitter fight to the final week of the season with their biggest rivals, the 1985 Cardinals finished strong and did what they were suppose to do and took the East. Whiteyball lead to 175 steals, tops in the league, and the big bat of Jack Clark hit 32 bombs with 111 RBI. John Tudor won 24 games while Ken Dayley and Todd Worrell worked as a fine tandem in one of the better pens in the game. Still the 2016 Dodgers fear no one and finished off their season with the best record in the game topping at 100 wins and a 17 game division win. Three 20 game winners make this rotation the most feared in the game and Kenley Jansen had a historic year as closer saving 42 games with a 1.11 ERA. Jansen allowed 10 earned runs all season long! Corey Seager hit .340 and had a slick glove as LA hit 195 home runs to lead the league. Joc Pederson drove in 98 runs and Trayce Thompson hit 27 home runs. These two franchises have a long and bitter rivalry between them and had to feel this matchup would eventually happen. It the biggest contrast of styles one can find in a series, but many feel the Dodger pitching will simply be too much.

National League Championship Series

1906 Pittsburgh Pirates (89-73) vs 1910 Boston Red Sox (96-66)

A perfect deadball era matchup to determine the pennant in the National League. The 1910 Red Sox lost their superstar in Tris Speaker and no one man can replace his 11.4 WAR; however the club has vowed to win it for him. Ray Collins won 24 games like a meteor and Frank Arrellanes found a way to save 42 games. Still Smoky Joe Wood remains the ace of this team and his stuff will go a long way in this series. Duffy Lewis ened the year with 126 RBI while the team hit a remarkable 206 home runs proving that they found a modern way to play this game. The way this team simply ran away from the 1946 Cardinals this year proves their guile as a club. The 1906 Pirates spent all season holding off the 1921 Reds and they did so with a strong finish. The Bucs lead the league in runs and hit .282 as a club with a .340 WoBa. Honus Wagner ended with a cool .350 mark while leading the league with 53 steals. Surely Honus will be the centerpiece of this series. Ed Krager also won 24 games and overall one can say Pittsburgh pitching should have an edge with Deacon Phillipe and Vic Willis expected to play a big role. With the pennant up for grabs, the games should be tight and warlike ij this series. The team battled to an even 8-8 record during the season.
