The 2014 MLB post-season gets underway tomorrow with the AL Wild Card matchup between the Oakland A’s and Kansas City Royals. Without further adieu, here are my post-season predictions for 2014:

AMERICAN LEAGUE

AL Wild Card – Oakland A’s vs. Kansas City Royals

Winner: Royals

ALDS #1 (Best 3 out of 5) – Kansas City Royals vs. Los Angeles Angels

Winner: Angels in four

ALDS #2 (Best 3 out of 5) – Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles

Winner: Orioles in four

ALCS (Best 4 out 7) – Baltimore Orioles vs. Los Angeles Angels

Winner: Orioles in five

ALCS MVP: Steve Pearce, Baltimore Orioles

NATIONAL LEAGUE

NL Wild Card – San Francisco Giants vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

Winner: Pirates (even if Hunter Pence channeled Daniel Bryan and gave a great pep talk to Giants fans yesterday).

NLDS #1 (Best 3 out of 5) – Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals

Winner: Pirates in five

NLDS #2 (Best 3 out of 5) – St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

Winner: Cardinals in five

NLCS (Best 4 out of 7) – Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals

Winner: Pirates in seven

NLCS MVP: Starling Marte, Pittsburgh Pirates

2014 World Series: Baltimore Orioles vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

I believe the Pirates will party like its 1979.
