This baseball season has been an interesting one and not a whole lot has gone according to the plan of the baseball "experts". Technically I was not much better myself with my picks. However, I think we can all agree that MLB has some dreamy World Series matchups still available and they are mostly between a few teams. For this season, their top 5 matchups are still available. I will break down each one and state why it is the dream matchup for the league.
5. Los Angeles Dodgers v. New York Yankees
This matchup engages both coasts. It pits the team that everybody loves to hate against the team with the pitcher that everybody loves. This is the game of the two franchises that typically spend the most money. The teams that are supposed to be there that never end up there at the same time. When you put Kershaw against ARod, a lot of people will want to tune in.
4. Chicago Cubs v. New York Yankees
The lovable osers against the evil empire. The cursed team against the team that curses opponents. The team that has won more than 20 championships against the team that never wins. These are two of MLB's top franchises and the story-lines write themselves.
3. Washington Nationals v. Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim
Trout v. Harper. Enough said.
2. Los Angeles Dodgers v. Toronto Blue Jays
Two of the games best pitchers against the games best lineup. A matchup between two countries. A true World Series. A team ending the longest playoff drought in American sports heading to the World Series to take on baseball's highest payroll. Price v. Kershaw. Tulowitski in the World Series. There is just so much potential here.
1. Chicago Cubs v. Toronto Blue Jays
Same as the previous matchup except add the Cubs cursed history to it. This matchup would have eyeballs galore. People want to see the Cubs and Blue Jays square off in the World Series. This World Series would be mega $$$$ for MLB.
Now, all of these would be $$$$ for MLB, but that last one (last two actually) would be on a different level IMO.
