MLB Post-Season Pick 'Em, World Series Edition: The NLCS went to seven games, presumably just to shorten the Pick 'Em turnaround time and spite all the professional pickers around the world. But we're not here to talk about the past; it's time for the Worldest of Series.

Detroit in 5 Cabrera 2 2:45
If Cabrera hits an intentional walk, does it count as an intentional walk? He did that with the Marlins.

I really have no idea with this pick. As was with the last round as well, apparently.

Of course, the NLCS had to go a full seven games to make this a tight turnaround once again.
Everybody swung and missed on all the bonus questions. I can understand Doug Fister and Barry Zito not being the favourites for the ERA crown, but for the bonus question named after Moneyball, how did nobody guess Marco Scutaro and his Oaklandtastic .533 OBP?
As always, please double-check your picks and points.
