2023 MLB Playoff Predictions From the Universe 🌌⚾️

Astros vs Twins Predictions

Justin Verlander, an Astros pitcher and one of the greatest pitchers of our generation, is married to Kate Upton, a model and actress who has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue three times. Not many models can say that, except for Minnesota native Cheryl Tiegs.

In one of Upton’s movies, "The Other Woman," three women plot to confront and seek revenge on a cheating man they are all dating/married to.

Drawing a parallel, Bartolo Colon, also a pitcher, had a similar situation. While married to his devoted wife of 21 years, he was living a double life and fathered two secret children with another woman.

After this incident, Colon signed with the Minnesota Twins. This is the same team that just recently signed Carlos Correa, a player associated with cheating while with the Astros.

This series boils down to cheaters and trash cans. The Twins may attempt to outdo the Astros at their own game, but no team will ever compare to the 2017 Houston Astros. They resorted to banging on trash cans to win a World Series and even allegedly had their best player wear a wire to know the incoming pitch.

Cheaters are like horseshoes and hand grenades, they never prosper… except for when they play baseball. 😂

Phillies vs Braves Predictions

Spencer Strider, Atlanta Braves Cy Young candidate, recently expressed in an interview that he would prefer to return to the 2020 season when baseball was played without fans due to COVID-19.

In other COVID sports news, Aaron Rodgers — who is notoriously known for being against vaccines — playfully nicknamed Travis Kelce "Mr. Pfizer" for the tight end’s Pfizer commercial.

Travis Kelce has a brother named Jason Kelce who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles. Also, Travis is currently in a relationship with none other than Taylor Swift, one of the biggest stars in the world. It's worth noting that before dating Travis, Taylor Swift was an Eagles fan.

If that is not enough for the Philadelphia Eagles, the signs point to them AGAIN.

Swift has an album called “1989”, and when you look at the World Series in 1989, the Oakland Athletics swept the San Francisco Giants by a final score of 9 to 6 on Oct. 28. Interestingly, 9 minus 6 equals 3, connecting to the infamous 28-3 comeback by the New England Patriots against the Atlanta Falcons in the 2017 Super Bowl, a historic and iconic game known for one of the greatest comebacks EVER, as well as one of the biggest choke jobs of all time.

Obviously, all signs are pointing to the Philadelphia Phillies winning this series and the Atlanta Braves choking. Book it!

Diamondbacks vs Dodgers Predictions

After Game 2, Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen, also known as the Milkman, shared with reporters, "The job’s not finished, really." This referenced the famous quote by Kobe Bryant after Game 2 of the 2009 NBA Finals: “What’s there to be happy about?”

Following this quote, Kobe lost the next game but eventually won the next two, ultimately securing the NBA Finals victory. In a similar vein, I predict the Diamondbacks will follow suit: a loss in the upcoming game, yet a triumphant rebound in the subsequent one.

I don’t have a profound connection to draw upon here; I am simply fervently rooting for an incredible underdog story where the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers. Let’s gooooo!

Orioles vs Rangers — They Never Had a Chance

I wanted the Orioles to win this series and honestly thought they would at least win Game 3. However, no one expected the Rangers to be listening to CREED to get them pumped up. You can’t overcome the powers of Creed if you are the Orioles.

Can this Rangers team win it all?

Put Some Respect on His Name 😤

Every week, following another San Francisco 49ers win, the fans and the media start discussing Brock Purdy. They question whether he's just a system QB capitalizing on Kyle Shanahan’s offense, or if he actually possesses the talent to be a top QB in this league.

But here's the reality: right now, this man ranks among the top five QBs in the league, and people need to start acknowledging it. He should be the frontrunner for MVP. Through Week 5, no QB has outperformed him.

This week, he demonstrated his prowess against one of the NFL's best defenses—the Dallas Cowboys—and completely outplayed them. Purdy completed 17 of 24 passing attempts for 252 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, boasting an impressive 144.4 passer rating.

Dan Orlovsky made a bold statement about Purdy on his show, Get Up. Here's what he had to say:

Purdy has the potential to go from “Mr. Irrelevant” to NFL MVP this season with these stats:

• A higher passer rating (123.1) than every QB in the NFL.

• A higher QBR (83.7) than every QB in the NFL.

• A higher completion percentage (72.1%) than every QB in the NFL besides Josh Allen.

• More passing yards (1,271) than Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, and Justin Herbert.

• More regular-season wins as a starter (10) than teams like the Jets, Bears, Panthers, Broncos, Texans, and Colts have since the start of last season combined.

Latest NFL MVP Odds:

• +350 Patrick Mahomes

• +475 Tua Tagovailoa

• +700 Brock Purdy

• +700 Jalen Hurts

• +700 Josh Allen

Who do you think will take it?

Now, I doubt Purdy will win the MVP but he should be in consideration for how well he is playing, no matter if it is his coaching. “Mr. Irrelevant” is a stud and will lead this 49ers team to a Super Bowl.

Now, what I don’t understand about Purdy is why tf he still has a roommate. If you watch any 49ers game, they will mention that he only makes $870,000 a year and that he still lives with a roommate. But why? $870,000 is a lot of money. Maybe not a lot in the NFL, but for everyone else, it is more than enough to live comfortably. I just don’t understand.

Maybe he wants to portray a 'gritty' image like Gardner Minshew, who lived in a van, but this just seems more childish than anything.

NFC is the Winning Conference

Although I like the 49ers to win it all this season, as they are clearly the best team in the league, there is another team in the NFC that is also undefeated: the Philadelphia Eagles.

These are obviously the clear-cut best teams in the NFL, and I expect this to finally be one of their years. They have elite talent and playmakers on their teams, and I can’t see any other team even having a shot, to be honest. Both of these teams are clearly on another level than everyone else, and this battle for the NFC title is going to be fun to watch.

Let’s make it more fun and bet on one of them to stay undefeated.
