Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz was having a good time in his retirement, the last of which was trolling Alex Rodriguez.
Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz, more nicknamed “Big Pape,” had a blast during his retirement. He retired his number at Fenway Park this season; inducted into the Hall of Fame; He’s stopped at several Red Sox games; He called the organization “stupid” for not extending it to Xander Bogarts; Test his skill as a weatherman; And the list goes on.
Now, Alex Rodriguez, aka A-Rod, is trolling and telling him, “The only way the Yankees can beat Houston is if you pick them…I’ve been wrong all along.”
A-Rod was wrong for most of the His postseason predictions, but in all fairness, there were quite a few wins that no one expected. For the Wild Card series, expect the Tampa Bay Rays, the Toronto Blue Jays, the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets to lead. Every one was wrong.
For the Divisional Series, expect the Houston Astros, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves to advance. And only the Yankees and Astros did, but the Dodgers and Braves were pushed out by the underdogs, so it’s a fair expectation most people share.
He expects the Astros to win the ALCS, so maybe the Yankees will end up winning. The Astros seem more likely to win, but crazier things have happened this season.
The Astros seem more likely to win the ALCS than the Yankees
During the regular season, the Astros were generally a better team than the Yankees. Of all the teams, Houston had 12th best batting average (.248), seventh best on base (.319), fifth best slowdown (.424) and seventh best OPS (.743).
The Yankees slipped a bit across the board except for the slow percentage where they finished fourth. To promote, the Astros and Yankees ranked second and third, respectively, across the board in the ERA, where they averaged against and WHIP.
Anything can happen, but the Astros have a better chance of playing in the World Championship.
