Two NL Central rivals will get it on in Brewer Country on Sunday for Game 5 of the NLCS. We make our NLCS predictions right here at Cappers Info!

Year To Date Record: 13-14 -$75


Series Picks: 1-3 -$425

MLB Predictions: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Date: Friday, October 14th, 8:05 ET
Location: Busch Stadium, St. Louis, MO
MLB Playoffs Odds: St. Louis -120, Over/Under 7.5 (over -105)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: TBS

The Cardinals now know that they have to go back to Miller Park for Game 6 of the NLCS, but the question is going to be whether they’re going to need to win one out of two or both games on the road to be able to make it to the World Series. Things aren’t looking good in this one though, as Zack Greinke is going to be taking the mound for the second time this series, and Yovani Gallardo is waiting in the wings for either Game 6 or Game 7. Jaime Garcia gets the ball from Manager Tony LaRussa.

We tend to find it a tad odd that the Cardinals are favorites in this game in spite of the fact that they are still 8-3 in their last 11 meetings against Milwaukee. Garcia clearly isn’t the better pitcher on the mound, and Greinke is 2-0 and his team is 3-0 in his three playoff starts. Both of these pitchers have been lit up pretty badly here in the postseason, but we expect to see LaRussa play this game like it is Game 7 of the World Series ad not a not-so-do-or-die situation in Game 5. That should be good enough to eke out a win to take a 3-2 series lead back to Milwaukee for what should be a fun weekend of baseball. St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers Game 5 Predictions: St. Louis -120

Rain washed away Game 2 of the ALDS, but the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers will give it a go again on Monday afternoon at 4:15 PM. Check out our ALCS Game 2 Picks as well as our NLCS Game 2 picks.

Year To Date Record: 12-13 -$75


Series Picks: 1-3 -$425

MLB Predictions: Texas Rangers @ Detroit Tigers
Date: Thursday, October 13th, 4:15 PM
Location: Comerica Park, Detroit, MI
MLB Playoffs Odds: Detroit -150, Over/Under 7.5 (o-110)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: FOX

We have to take all of the emotion out of this game on Thursday afternoon. We are very, very aware that this series is over with at this point, as it’s clear that the Rangers aren’t going to be losing three straight games. And, it might even be clear as day that Texas truly has the best team left standing in the playoffs and might have had the most complete team in baseball. However, we still have to be realistic. Justin Verlander is the real deal. The man really has only had one start of any length in these playoffs, that being Game 3 against the New York Yankees in which he struggled, but was good enough to get the win against CC Sabathia. We have to have confidence that the Tigers, in an obvious do or die situation, can scratch a couple runs off of CJ Wilson. Verlander should do the rest of the work in a game in which he is probably being told that he is pitching until his arm falls off or until the game is over, whichever comes first. What we do know is that we wouldn’t trust Jose Valverde to come in and pitch after really falling apart in that second inning in relief on Wednesday night. The man has a tired arm after trying to finish five innings, some of which have been absolutely grueling, in just three days with no rest. Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers Game 2 Predictions: Detroit Tigers -150

MLB Predictions: St. Louis Cardinals @ Milwaukee Brewers
Date: Thursday, October 13th, 8:05 ET
Location: Busch Stadium, St. Louis, MO
MLB Playoffs Odds: St. Louis -125, Over/Under 8.5 (o+105)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: TBS

In Game 2 of the NLCS, we were spot on when we suggested that it was a great chance for the Redbirds to steal a victory at Miller Park with a very questionable pitcher on the mound in Shaun Marcum. It was the first time that the Brewers lost a home game in these playoffs. Now, we think that the shoe is completely on the other foot. Milwaukee is now 0-3 on the road in the postseason, but now, it gets to take its shots at Kyle Lohse, arguably the worst pitcher that Manager Tony LaRussa will trot out there in this series. Lohse hasn’t pitched since Game 1 of the ALDS, a game in which he was tattooed for six runs in just 5.1 innings of work. There’s a reason that he was pushed back nearly two full weeks between starts, and he is really only being used out of necessity. We don’t think that highly of Randy Wolf either on the other side of the mound, but Wolf is a pro’s pro, and we tend to think that he’ll get the job done and post a victory for his team to ensure that this series will come back to Miller Park for Games 6 and potentially 7. St. Louis Cardinals @ Milwaukee Brewers Game 2 Predictions: Milwaukee Brewers +110

The NLDS gets started on Tuesday afternoon, as both of the road teams try to immediately flip home field advantage in their respective series. Our Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees Game 2 picks, Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Milwaukee Brewers Game 2 picks and our St. Louis Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Phillies Game 2 picks are ready and raring to go!

Year To Date Record: 12-11 +$130


Series Picks: 1-3 -$425

MLB Predictions: Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers
Date: Wednesday, October 12th, 4:19 PM
Location: Comerica Park, Detroit, MI
MLB Playoffs Odds: Detroit -105, Over/Under 9.5 (o-105)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: FOX

The Tigers proved his wrong in Game 3, winning thanks to a fine performance turned in by Doug Fister. Now, the offense seems to have its mojo back, and the pitching staff has to feel full of confidence. And to make matters potentially even better, there has to be a lot of confidence that this series, at minimum, is going back to Arlington for Game 6 now that we know that Justin Verlander is going to be on the bump in Game 5 on regular rest instead of in Game 4 on short rest. Instead, it’ll be Rick Porcello going for Detroit against Matt Harrison of the Rangers. We don’t buy into Harrison at all. Sure, the team went 21-10 in his 31 starts this year including the playoffs, but the squad also gave him 4.6 runs of support per game. That won’t keep up. We don’t have all that much confidence in Porcello either, as he looked absolutely horrible in his first career postseason start against the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the ALDS. There’s something about the mojo of Motown right now that would scare us if we had to come here and play either football or baseball… The Rangers will find that out the hard way and will suddenly likely become underdogs in this series tonight. Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers Game 4 Predictions: Detroit Tigers -105

Two NL Central rivals will get it on in Brewer Country on Sunday for Game 3 of the NLCS. We make our NLCS predictions right here at Cappers Info!

Year To Date Record: 12-10 +$230


Series Picks: 1-3 -$425

MLB Predictions: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Date: Wednesday, October 12th, 8:05 ET
Location: Busch Stadium, St. Louis, MO
MLB Playoffs Odds: St. Louis -150, Over/Under 7.5 (over -135)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: TBS

The Brewers need to be quite careful right now, as a loss in this Game 3 is probably going to leave them hurting in a big way just to get back in this series. St. Louis is carrying all of the momentum into Game 3 after Albert Pujols blew up for four hits and three RBIs, including a towering home run to lead to a huge 12-3 victory at Miller Park. On top of that, the Redbirds are coming back to Busch Stadium, where they split with the Philadelphia Phillies, and where they are 10-3 in their last 13 games. To make matters worse for the Brew Crew, Wednesday’s starter, Yovani Gallardo has led the team to just a 1-7 mark in his last eight starts against St. Louis. The Cards are also 7-2 in the last nine clashes of these NL Central titans. Chris Carpenter is going to be throwing for the Redbirds, and the hometown crowd is going to be thrilled to see him. His last three starts have all been on the road, and all he has done in those games is pitch two complete game shutouts (one of which was in Game 5 of the NLDS on the road against Roy Halladay in a 1-0 game) and pitch well enough to keep his team in the game against Cliff Lee, arguably one of the best postseason pitchers of the last decade.

That being said, we just can’t ignore the fact that Gallardo has pitched excellent baseball in his two starts in the playoffs. He might not be the same pitcher on the road that he is at home, where he is literally unhittable, but we don’t think that he is deserving of being this big of an underdog in this spot. Back Gallardo and his Brewers to flip home field advantage back to their side on Wednesday night to take all of the pressure off in Games 4 and 5 of this series.. St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers Game 3 Predictions: Milwaukee +140

It’s essentially do or die time right now for the Tigers, but we aren’t so sure that they are going to even be able to get this series back to Arlington, let alone back to Arlington with a 3-2 series lead. Comerica Park isn’t the greatest home field advantage in the world, and the Tigers clearly look like an outmatched team. Detroit really blew its chance in the ninth inning in Game 2 when it had bases loaded and two outs, but failed to score. Of course, we give all the credit in the world to Jose Valverde for getting out of a bases loaded nobody out jam in the bottom of the inning, but in the end, the team couldn’t avoid giving up four runs in the exact same situation in the bottom of the 11th on Monday to go down 2-0 in the series. The Rangers once again probably have the pitching advantage in a game in this series. We trust Colby Lewis more than Doug Fister, though we know that the former Seattle Mariner really has pitched well both in this postseason and for the Tigers in general. In the end, Texas is a team that just has the mojo right now, and for the third straight game, we see it jumping out to an early 2-0 or 3-0 type of lead and never looking back. Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers Game 3 Predictions: Texas Rangers +125

MLB Playoffs Odds: Texas -140, Over/Under 9 (o-110)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: FOX

There’s just something right now about the Tigers that doesn’t feel right. They feel like they exhausted everything that they had to take care of the New York Yankees in the first round of the playoffs, and now, they have to go through the rest of this series without both Delmon Young and Magglio Ordonez, both of which have been taken off of the roster for the duration of this series. Now, it’s going to be up to Max Scherzer to get the job done to avoid falling into an 0-2 rut going back to Motown. Scherzer was absolutely stunning in his first ever postseason game, as he really shut down the Bronx Bombers in a big time way. That being said, Derek Holland has pitched well as well, and not only did he do it in Game 2 as a starter against the Tampa Bay Rays, but he also did so in relief in Game 4 as well. We trust that Holland, who is now 17-5 on the season, will get the job done in this one and send this series back to Detroit with the Rangers up 2-0. Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers Game 2 Predictions: Texas Rangers -140

MLB Predictions: St. Louis Cardinals @ Milwaukee Brewers
Date: Monday, October 10th, 8:05 ET
Location: Miller Park, Milwaukee, WI
MLB Playoffs Odds: Milwaukee -130, Over/Under 8.5 (o+105)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: TBS

Things for the Cardinals are getting pretty desperate after their pitching staff was decimated on Sunday night. That being said, they’ve got the man on the mound on Monday that has defied all odds over the course of his career in Edwin Jackson. No one seems to want to give Jackson a steady job, but he continues to pitch, and pitch well, and now, he is about to have the biggest start of his career. Since coming to the Cards, Jackson has started 13 games including the playoffs, and he has led the team to a 9-4 record. He is 6-2 with a 3.54 ERA as well. On the other side of the mound, Shaun Marcum is going to try to pick up his first career postseason win as well. The righty didn’t have his best stuff in Game 3 on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and we really don’t think all that much of him. Remember, in his 34 starts, he has led the team to just a 16-18 mark. This is also the only pitcher in this staff that pitched better on the road than he did at Miller Park. If there’s a game that the Cards are winning in this series on the road, this is the game. St. Louis Cardinals @ Milwaukee Brewers Game 2 Predictions: St. Louis +130

Two NL Central rivals will get it on in Brewer Country on Sunday for Game 1 of the NLCS. We make our NLCS predictions right here at Cappers Info!

It’s going to be a very interesting series to say the least between these two NL Central rivals. The Brewers probably have the stronger of the two sides, and they certainly have the more interesting pitching rotation for a deep series. The Cards are seeming to cut and paste it all together with Jamie Garcia going in Game 1. The lefty was fantastic for the most part in Game 3 against the Philadelphia Phillies, as he threw six scoreless innings before ultimately allowing a three run homer to Ben Francisco to suffer the loss. Zack Greinke gets the ball on Sunday for the Brew Crew, and that’s a great thing for the hosts. Why is that? He’s never gotten the loss in a game at Miller Park in his career. That’s a big time “Yo!” as Lee Corso would say. How can we go against that trend? Simply put: We can’t. St. Louis Cardinals @ Milwaukee Brewers Game 1 Predictions: Milwaukee -140

Things get started for the Detroit Tigers and the Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday, and we’re making our MLB predictions for the biggest clash of the year to date!

Year To Date Record: 9-10 -$100


Series Picks: 1-3 -$425

MLB Predictions: Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers
Date: Saturday, October 8th, 8:07 PM
Location: Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Arlington, TX
MLB Playoffs Odds: Detroit -110, Over/Under 7.5 (o-105)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: FOX

It’s odd to think that a home team is more or less playing on house money in Game 1 of a series. However, this is a game that the Rangers have to plan on losing, just as they probably plan on losing either Game 4 or Game 5 when Justin Verlander takes the bump again. Just as Detroit couldn’t afford to lose a game with Verlander on the mound and the series tied at 1-1 against the Yankees in the ALDS, it can’t afford to lose this one either. CJ Wilson was the one starting pitcher for the Rangers that really didn’t do all that well at any point over the course of the first round of the playoffs. He might have done well during the regular season, and the long rest may help him out in this one, but we’re just not that overly optimistic when push comes to shove. Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers Game 1 Predictions: Detroit Tigers -110

In the first game of a fantastic double header on TBS, the Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks will fight it out at Miller Park in Game 5 of the NLDS. Don’t miss our Milwaukee Brewers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks predictions for the game!

Year To Date Record: 8-9, -$20

MLB Predictions: Arizona Diamondbacks @ Milwaukee Brewers
Date: Friday, October 7th, 5:07 ET
Location: Miller Park, Milwaukee, WI
MLB Playoffs Odds: Milwaukee -140, Over/Under 7.5 (over +100)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: TBS

Much has been made about the lack of importance of home field advantage in these playoffs. Yes, it’s true that the other three series have only netted a disturbing 3-4 record for the home teams, but in this series, that just hasn’t been the case. Milwaukee took the first two games here at Miller Park, and Arizona won the two games at Chase Field.

And now, we’re right back to where we started. Milwaukee is going to be throwing Yovani Gallardo once again, just as it did in Game 1. Gallardo was stellar, throwing eight innings and allowing just one run in what amounted to be the performance by a pitcher in this series. He struck out nine and allowed just four hits, and for the most part, the D’Backs were just completely baffled by what he was offering. This is a man that still only has two losses all season long at home, and if he gets into any trouble, don’t be shocked to see Zack Greinke, a man who wasn’t beaten at all this year at Miller Park enter the game.

Unfortunately for Arizona, it just doesn’t have these types of options. Sure, Daniel Hudson or Josh Collmenter could be used out of the bullpen, but these arms just aren’t as scary as the ones that are available to the Brewers. Offensively, the bats came alive and just keep getting better and better for the D’Backs. They have upped their run production in every game in this series, going from just one run in Game 1 to 10 runs in Game 4. We can’t imagine that continuing on Friday night, especially in such a tight situation like this one.

We backed the Brewers in Game 1, and we have no choice but to do so once again in Game 5. It’s hard to beat the same team in three consecutive games in a series like this one, and though we admire what the Diamondbacks have put together over the course of the last two months, it’s going to come to a close on Friday when Gallardo throws another gem.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Milwaukee Brewers Game 5 Picks: Milwaukee -140

The team that many thought had the best in baseball this year, the Philadelphia Phillies staved off elimination on Tuesday night and forced a Game 5 in the Bronx. Can they get the job done? Check out our MLB predictions for New York’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.

Year To Date Record: 8-9, -$20

MLB Predictions: St. Louis Cardinals @ Philadelphia Phillies
Date: Friday, October 7th, TBD
Location: Citizens Bank Ballpark, Philadelphia, PA
MLB Playoffs Odds: Philadelphia -180, Over/Under 6.5 (over -130)
MLB Playoffs TV Schedule: TBS

You play for a full season just to try to get home field advantage in situations like this, and though the Phils would have much rather preferred a shorter series than this one, they have to be comfortable with the fact that they are going into Game 5 at home with their best pitcher on the mound even though they let an early lead slip away in Game 4 in St. Louis.

Roy Halladay wasn’t exactly remarkable in Game 1 of this series, but save for Cole Hamels, none of the vaunted Philadelphia starting pitchers really have been. It’s a harsh reminder that no matter how good your team looks on paper, weird things can happen in short series in the playoffs. Don’t be surprised if we see a lot more than Halladay if the situation calls for it. We don’t think that Roy Oswalt is available, but any of the other big time arms could be used, especially knowing that there has to be zilch for confidence in the bullpen for Manager Charlie Manuel.

Meanwhile, the St. Louis bullpen has just been remarkable in this series. Octavio Dotel, Jason Motte, and Arthur Rhodes have combined to throw seven scoreless innings, and only Marc Rzepczynski has had problems. Of course, the man that has the next highest ERA in the bunch is Chris Carpenter, the man that will be pitching on Friday. This is the third straight truly pressure packed start for Carpenter. He survived the final day of the regular season, shutting out the Houston Astros, but he didn’t make it on short rest against the Phils in Game 2 of this series, allowing four runs in three innings. The reason that Manager Tony LaRussa used him in Game 2 though, was so he could come back and pitch Game 5 on regular rest instead of just being used out of the bullpen in perhaps an inning or two if needed.

This is going ot be an out and out war to say the least. In the end, we just think that the Phils have more arms that they can rely on to get the job done. We don’t think that either team will ever be ahead by more than a run, but in the end, we just have to trust that the favorites to win it all are going to come up with the victory that they badly need to keep their season alive.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Phillies Game 5 Picks: Philadelphia -180
