Postseason Participants 2010








At the end of last year, I made a prediction as to who the participants in the 2010 postseason would be. My prediction turned out to be somewhat off the mark. I had predicted the following:

AL East – New York Yankees
AL Central – Minnesota Twins
AL West – Los Angeles Angels
AL Wild Card – Boston Red Sox

NL East – Atlanta Braves
NL Central – St. Louis Cardinals
NL West – Arizona Diamondbacks
NL Wild Card – Houston Astros

Two of the AL teams (the Twins and the Yankees) I predicted did make it this year and only one NL team (the Braves) did so. That is 50.00% for the AL, 25.00% for the NL, and 37.50% overall. The 2010 postseason is as follows:

AL East – Tampa Bay Rays
AL Central – Minnesota Twins
AL West – Texas Rangers
AL Wild Card – New York Yankees

NL East – Philadelphia Phillies
NL Central – Cincinnati Reds
NL West – San Francisco Giants
NL Wild Card – Atlanta Braves


Since the Boston Red Sox are not in the postseason, in the Divisional Series I will be rooting for the Minnesota Twins (playing the New York Yankees) and the Texas Rangers (playing the Tampa Bay Rays) in the AL and for the Cincinnati Reds (playing the Philadelphia Phillies) and the Atlanta Braves (playing the San Francisco Giants) in the NL
