World Series 2006 prediction

So yes, I really am studying vector calculus this weekend (Got my final on Monday morning!) and I did take a break to post this.

It's not very often that some big name sports sites (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc.) get their MLB Playoff picks wrong. I'm not saying they're always right, but it's rare that many of them get their picks wrong (specially baseball cuz you always have your Yankees...). But take a look at this:

19 baseball experts from the nation's leading sports network try to predict which team will win the World Series, and not one of them even picks a team that makes it to the World Series, let alone wins it.

You've got that right. Not even one single analyst out of 19 picked the Tigers or the Cardinals to MAKE the World Series (let alone win the World Series).

You should read the rest of the blog post (especially the part about % and probability: http://firejoemorgan.blogspot.com/2006/10/picks.html
This makes me feel so much better for screwing up all 4 of my division series picks...

So anyways, my pick for the World Series to be the Detroit Tigers over the St. Louis Cardinals in 5. It's not a definite 5, cuz the Cards mite squeeze in another win and stretch the Series to 6 games, but nonetheless Detroit will win. Guarantee.

Detroit in 5.
MVP: Kenny Rogers
