Here are my predictions for the MLB League Championship Series's to see who represents their league in the 2016 World Series.
American League Championship Series
(2) Cleveland Indians vs (WC1) Toronto Blue Jays: This should be an interesting series to watch. Cleveland is missing two of their best three starting pitchers in Danny Salzar and Carlos Corrasco and they still managed to sweep the Boston Red Sox in impressive fashion. Toronto's offense is arguably hitting their stride at the right time as they smacked the ball around great pitchers in Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish in their sweep of the Texas Rangers. A hot offense and a banged up starting staff isn't a recipe for success, so the Indians banged up rotation will finally come back to haunt them as the Jays will reach the World Series for the first time since 1994.
Prediction: Blue Jays in six games
ALCS MVP: Josh Donaldson
National League Championship Series
(1) Chicago Cubs vs (3) Los Angeles Dodgers: What a series we have here! Fox Sports must be doing jumping jacks with two big market teams full with big stars. The Cubs are coming off a great four-game series win over the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers are coming off a great five-game series win over the Washington Nationals. The big X-factor in this series is the Cubs left-handed starters and pitchers for that matter against the Dodgers, who cannot hit lefties. That said, I like the Cubs to go to their first World Series in a long, long time.
Prediction: Cubs in six games
NLCS MVP: Anthony Rizzo
