Welcome to the 3rd edition of MLB Pick 'em! For this edition, we will be predicting the winning teams of all 18 games scheduled for Friday September 18 (including both games of all three scheduled doubleheaders). Note that in two of the doubleheaders, the home team in game 1 will be the visiting team in game 2. Just to be clear, both games of the Cardinals-Pirates doubleheader will be played at Pittsburgh. Both games of the Phillies-Blue Jays doubleheader will be played in Philadelphia.
