2024 Season Preview: The NL Playoffs

[Red Sox GM (Nick)]

To round out our 2024 season preview series, Washington Nationals GM (Alex) and I present our playoff predictions. Similar to the divisional write-ups, Alex predicts the AL, and Nick predicts the NL. NL picks listed below up to NLCS.

Will leave the poll open for the next seven days. Please pick the two teams you expect will play for the National League pennant in September. AL poll has been posted separately. Next week I will post a World Series poll with our final predictions.

Nick's picks:

1 Atlanta Braves (East Champs)
2 Milwaukee Brewers (Central Champs)
3 Colorado Rockies (West Champs)
4 San Diego Padres (WC 1)
5 St Louis Cardinals (WC 2)
6 Cincinnati Reds (WC 3)

Wild card round:
Reds over Rockies
Cardinals over Padres

Divisional round:
Brewers over Reds
Braves over Cardinals

[Brewers GM (Bill)]

Wish I saw what you see here w/ my club, Red Sox GM (Nick) . Think I'm a lot more likely to be battling for that consolation cup, but if the Brew Crew being good is a consensus view, it would help to explain why a manager not to be named took a couple passive-aggressive shots at me in PMs as the season started, haha.
