My picks... versus my mother in law's, my 4 year old sons' and a coin flip

The post season is starting in less than an hour...

And it is time for me to get my picks in.

Now my preseason pick for the World Series, the A's and the Reds, looks pretty lousy now.

But I did pick the Yankees, the Twins, the Red Sox, the Phillies, the Cardinals and the Dodgers to make the playoffs... so 6 our of 8 wasn't bad.

But my playoff picks tend to be pretty bad. I'm going to do them anyway... but this year I will put them head to 4 other predictions:

My mother in law's predictions (she doesn't really follow baseball.)

My 4 year old son Matteo's predictions (he claims to follow the Blue Socks.)

My 4 year old son Aidan's predictions (he loves the Giants... and can't name a single player on the team)

And the result of a coin flip.

To be fair, I asked my sons "Who do you think will win? Red Sox or Angels?" And they just yelped which ever team name caught their fancy.

But keeping in mind my own analysis brought me a Reds/A's World Series, maybe I shouldn't make fun of their method.
