N.L. Update, Notes, Predictions Of Sorts

It so often changes however, at this point I will go on record with the following 6 teams as N.L. tournament qualifiers and in that order.

The Milwaukee Brewers are an almost certain top seed , ditto (ode to the movie “Ghost,”) the Philadelphia Phils as the “2,” and the defending champion Dodgers of L.A. as the likely “3” seed.

In all likelihood, in a redux of the famed ’84 NLCS won by San Diego,

It likely will be those Padres playing the whole best of 3 series at Chicago vs the Cubs.

The New York Mets, who made “noise” as the N.L. “6” last season lead the Cincinnati Reds by 1 and a fraction loss (2 games but it is Cincy’s tiebreaker, no comment) column games with both the Arizona D/Backs–“tiebreakered” out last season and maybe the S.F. Giants with outside shots.

Steve Sax, pictured above, got a big hit off #7 ’88 NLCS, losing pitcher as the Dodgers beat the mets before 5’ing the Oakland A’s to win one of their 6 full season crowns.
