I think one separate thread for the wild card series combined, then each of the division series, might be the way to go.
NL Wild Card: Milwaukee @ Washington.
AL Wild Card: Tampa Bay @ Oakland
Division Series that are confirmed:
St. Louis @ Atlanta
Minnesota @ New York Yankees
I'll post my predictions for the series that are confirmed, tomorrow.

Wild Card:
Washington over Milwaukee. Trust their pitching and offense more.
Tampa Bay over Oakland. Oakland has the power, and seemingly has good starting pitching, and Hendricks. But I don't trust their starting pitching in a big game. They get down 3 - 4 runs early most of the time.
Give me a memorable start, Oakland.
Manaea is just coming back from injury, and he's been great so far. Let's see if he can do it in the playoffs.
There will be an Oakland home run. Will that be enough to win the game?

Strasburgh is hitting pretty much every part of the zone, in a long AB.

Avisail Garcia with a 2-run HOME RUN in the 2nd, 0 outs.
3-0 Tampa Bay now.
Manaea, stop throwing the fast ball.

Semien to 3rd on an error, then scores on a sac fly.

St. Louis @ Atlanta:
St. Louis has a lot of patient hitters, and I think they have the better pitching.
St. Louis in 3.

Washington Nationals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers:
I don't see this being a long series, unless something goes wrong with the Dodgers starting pitching.

Based on how things have been called in past games, I think Cervelli had a check swing.
Not a strikeout.

Carpenter hits a ball to LF and a run scores to tie it at 3 all, but then Wong runs into an out also trying to score.
I'm not sure why someone couldn't have signed to Wong and tell him he wasn't going to have enough time to score.

It's weird that Wong is involved in so many bad plays today.

Tampa Bay vs. Houston:
It would not surprise me if Tampa Bay won. They aren't great at power, but they pitch well, play good defense, and they are also capable of a crooked number every now and them. They have some good contact hitters too.
Also, Houston isn't going to get a great start from every pitcher every time out. That's not realistic.
However, I'm 4-0 in games played so far this postseason, and I think I've pushed my luck.
I don't want to pick Tampa Bay to outright win, because of that.
Houston in 5.

Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees:
Minnesota is a beast on offense, and they've made good moves to improve their pitching.
I also like their starting pitching, because of Berrios, more.
Minnesota in 4.
