NL Playoffs
Last week, I gave my picks to make the playoffs in the NL. Here is how I feel those teams will fair once they reach October:
NL Wild Card Phillies VS. Cardinals: Within the one-game wild card format, the Phillies dominant pitching will be able to overcome their offensive struggles and beat the Cardinals.
NL Division Round Diamondbacks VS. Phillies: After depleting portions of their pitching against the Cardinals, the Phillies

pitching will not be quite good enough to overcome their offensive woes against the Diamondbacks.
NL Division Round Braves VS. Reds: The depth of the Braves lineup as well as pitching will be on display as the Braves win a close, offensive series.
NL Championship Series Diamondbacks VS. Braves: In a very close, evenly matched series the Diamondbacks bullpen struggles will cost them as the Braves win the series due to their superior bullpen.
So there are my thoughts on the NL Playoffs, what are yours? Who wins the National League?

The d’vacks pen was one of the most effective In the league last year. Don’t sell me bullpen woes. D’backs lose to the angels in 6 in the series.
