Its that time again, the 2014 Major League Baseball Play-offs are once again upon us, and the road to the World Series get serious here. I will be looking at the match-ups that may occur in the Play-offs and analysing them and Making a prediction
Oakland A's vs Kansas City Royals
This match-up looks interesting, very interesting, the 88-74 A's face the 89-73 Royals. However Kansas do not have a great offense, being the only team not to reach 100 Home Runs in the regular season and Oakland had an explosive start to the season, but fell away at the end which is why they find themselves in this position. Expect the games to be low-scoring in this Match-up.
Prediction: Oakland 2-3 Kansas
San Francisco Giants vs Pittsburgh Pirates
The Giants and the Pirates will go head to head in the National League Wildcard Contest. Pittsburgh must be wondering how they only managed to get a wildcard after losing their last 2 matches that allowed the Cardinals to claim the NL Central. The Giants also could have won their division, had the Dodgers not gone 8-2 in their last 10 matches including a 5 game win streak at the end of the season.
Prediction: Giants 4-3 Pirates
