And since when does the team with the best record in the league have to play the afternoon game on the first day of the playoffs? This east coast bias shit is insane. The Yankees get the prime time national game? Why? The White Sox have a better record & the fans will be just as loud (if not louder) for game one. If not for the White Sox, but what about some respect for the defending champs? The Red Sox don't deserve a prime time slot for the opening night?
Fuck... the Yankees aren't even playing at home that night. Now it makes even less sense. Plus baseball (as a whole) would hate for a Angels/White Sox ALCS. It's not sexy enough for them to have the top two teams in the league fighting for the league title. It has to be Red Sox/Yankees or else for them. BULLSHIT.
My picks:
ALDS
Yankees/Angels - Yankees in 5
White Sox/Red Sox - White Sox in 4
ALCS
White Sox/Yankees - White Sox in 6
NLDS
Cardinals/Padres - Cardinals in 4
Braves/Astros - Astros in 5
NLCS
Cardinals/Astros - Astros in 7
WORLD SERIES
White Sox/Astros - White Sox in 6

It actually makes quite a lot of sense that the Angels/Yankees are in the later time, considering that they're playing on the west coast. Looking forward to the White Sox being eliminated though.
