The book of the regular season is now closed. What’s left now is the postseason, and it is about to start with a bang. Wild Card games are less than 24 hours away, and almost everybody has predicted as to what’s going to happen. New York Yankees icon, Alex Rodriguez, also chimed in with his own prediction.

The Yankees are in the playoffs and have won the division mainly because of their outfielder, Aaron Judge. Who, by the way, is having a tremendous season. Just recently, Judge broke the legendary, Roger Maris’ record, and became the new AL’s most home runs leader by hitting 62 this season.
Despite all that, the New York Yankees were not in the former baseball player’s World Series pick.
What did the postseason picks by Alex Rodriguez look like?
According to the former athlete, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays, are going to win the American League’s wild-card games. Whereas, in the National League, wild-card winners will be the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals.

World Series is still far, but if Rodriguez’s pick is considered, the team that A-Rod played eleven years with, and won one World Series, did not even make it as the winners of the ALCS. Although in the National League, St Louis Cardinals, and New York Mets, made it through the Wild Card series, none of the two managed to even win NLCS.

Meanwhile, Alex completely cutting the Yankees out of the equation has MLB fans divided. While some think it was the right decision by him, others think he should have supported his team, which has made it this far, courtesy of Aaron ‘All Rise’ Judge. Also, some are saying if A-Rod had chosen the Yankees, it would be as if he was being selfish.
How are fans reacting to the World Series pick by Rodriguez?
The baseball aficionados poured in a barrage of views on the prediction made by the legendary Yankee. Let’s have a look at some of them!
A fan came up with an interesting opinion. As per him, the man went against both the teams he played with.
A-Rod really picked against the Yankees & the Mariners. Wow.

Looks like a fan seeks an entertaining season of MLB and so he believed this prediction can turn the outcome on a rather boring note.
If this happens it would be the most boring post season ever.

Yet another chimed in by saying that this was a bold prediction indeed!
Picking literally every favorite. Such a bold strategy

Pretty sure he just picked the team with the better record winning every time. Real in-depth analysis

Picked the on-paper favorite in every series except Cleveland-TB lol.
This like filling out a March madness bracket only picking the higher seed for every game.
