My Completely-Without-Explanation 2015 World Series Pick

Mets over Royals (in six).

 

 

(The explanation I didn’t include: The Mets have better starting pitching, more power hitters, and Terry Collins is way less likely than Ned Yost to do something crazy like leaving a pitcher in too long.)

The NLCS Game 3 MR. OCTOBERS, meanwhile, were Jacob deGrom (he could have done better, but…) and Yoenis Cespedes.
