Looking through past prediction history, I definitely tend to do better in terms of picking the playoff teams correctly for the NL. Partly because that league had less balance for a while and partly because it was the league I was way more familiar with.
My World Series predictions though have been atrocious, which I suppose is totally understandable given that the playoffs themselves are a crapshoot and trying to pick a winner 7 months early is nothing but a shot in the dark. Since I started doing regular predictions, my World Series picks have been:
2010: Yankees over Cardinals
2011: Phillies over Yankees
2012: Yankees over Diamondbacks
2013: Nationals over Angels
2014: Cardinals over Tigers
2015: Dodgers over Angels
jesus...I hate the Yankees and all that but they sure were my "when in doubt, just guess the Yankees" team for a while. Probably because they were until recently the one AL team I always felt comfortable assuming would make the playoffs.
