My picks... my sister in law's picks... my kid's picks... a coin toss and a fish

The playoffs are starting in less than an hour and it is time to make my official picks.
Now my picks tend to suck... despite my following EVERY team in baseball and thinking way too much about, my powers of prediction leave a lot to be desired.

So this year I am comparing my picks to Debbie Zambetti, my wonderful Sister in Law and a health and nutrition counselor who maintains a wonderful website about food and health that you should check out NOW!

I'll also be getting the picks of my twin 5 year old boys (who don't follow baseball except in an abstract "I like what daddy likes" way).

I'll be comparing my picks to a coin toss.

And also will be getting the picks from Red... our fish. I put a logo of each team next to his tank... which ever one he swam to will be his pick.

So let's compare.

Now keep in mind we all used different methods for our picks.
I watched baseball all year and poured over the stats.

My sons picked by how they liked the sound of the names.

My sister in law believes the entire balance of the playoffs will be tilted based on how many vegans are on each team. She also predicts the World Series will end with both teams crying.

The coin is just chance.

And Red the fish swam to one side of the bowl towards one logo I held up or the other side where the other logo would be.

And when you think of it... they are all equally valid methods to picking a winner.

(Let's hope my picks are better than my fish's!)
