MLB playoff predictions: Who will win the 2014 World Series?
We ask our team who is going to come out on top in the 2014 MLB playoffs.
The 2014 MLB playoffs begin on Tuesday night in Kansas City, so it’s time to make predictions about who is going to come out on top. Now, the playoffs might be something of a crapshoot, but that won’t stop our editors from incessant gloating if their predictions turn out to be accurate.
You can, of course, leave your own predictions in the comments, and should they go awry, feel free to pretend they never happened. That’s our plan.

★★★
That’s four World Series champions predictions for the Nationals, three for the Dodgers, two for the Angels, and one for the A’s. If you’re upset we didn’t pick your team to win it all, think of it this way: We’re just trying to reverse jinx them into success.
