2025 NL Postseason: Wild Card series Predictions
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Cincinatti Reds
Will Smith and Max Muncy should be ready to go and help Los Angeles steer in the right direction. Stunningly for them, they play Cincinnati who has Elly de La Cruz entering his first postseason and there is nobody like him.
Until, they can expose de La Cruz and their pitching staff to the postseason more, this will be a no big for Los Angeles as they enter in first place of the NL West at 93-69.
Prediction: Dodgers in 2
San Diego Padres vs. Chicago Cubs
It is easily the Chicago Cubs (92-70) but not so fast. The Padres are better home than they are away. Mike Shildt had this to say about the series.
“There’s not another ballpark, I would say, that can be any trickier than Wrigley,” manager Mike Shildt said. “We’re aware of it.”
The Padres finished with a 38-43 record on the road. There is reason to believe, however, they will take advantage of Chicago’s long drought deficit at home since 2017.
We shall call it the aftermath leading into departures such as Kyle Hendricks, Kyle Schwarber, Jon Lester, and Kris Bryant.
That team was special, not here.
Prediction: Padres in 3.

What Harry Caray and Ryne Sandberg Meant To The Pasttime
Harry Caray and Ryne Sandberg were like any kids joy heart going to Wrigley Field in the 90’s. Caray squared back to his passionate heart for Chicago Cubs baseball who still yet overcome a World championship.
Sandberg would play second base and mow down the runners at first. He was a 9x Gold Glove winner and second all-time in that regard behind Roberto Alomar. He was a 1984 NL MVP and featured classically later in the Cubs galore. He just had that elegant smile that stood out from the rest and nifty feet.
Caray meanwhile was like standing up to Gorilla Moonsoon only he had the cooler glasses. He shocked the waves of Cubs fame and covering Sandberg as, “Holy Cow,” was undoubtedly his most famous call.
Holy cow them Cubs! The Cubs had maybe reached the playoffs a couple times and then Caray passed shortly. Sandberg became manager of the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs and ending in with despair this time.
There was no despair when it came to how the baseball World treated and respected Sandberg though. He tragically died on July 28, 2025 and will be heroically missed who met expectations of an absolute Cubs fan. He will be missed.
