Thanks for doing this Dan, I am sorry I missed it, But I would have been 1for 4 if I was in LOL

This is correct . Keep guessing, and if there is a member with more wins than the grand prize winner(s) number of wins, then there will be a prize for that.

I have been known to make it easier to win prizes along the way, so just keep playing. :)

Wow. I had zero picks correct in the first round. Thanks for letting all of us minor-leaguers keep playing along, Dan!

I failed as well. I thought the Mets had it in the bag, and didn't think Toronto or St. Louis would not make some comeback. Thats the greatness of the MLB postseason!

I don't think anyone went 4 for 4, I know I didn't even get 3 Go Mariners!

Correct, no one was 4 for 4, therefore the eight people who were 3 for 4 have continued on for the grand prize.

That was a very surprising round. Who saw this coming, 3 of the 4 host teams lost! So much for home field advantage. And 3 of the 4 series were 2 and done. I was expecting at least 3 of the 4 would go all 3 games. Crazy round. (Go Phillies!)

For Round 2, voting with my heart instead of my head, but Go Big or Go home!

Sorry I missed this. Go Philies. It sucks being a Philly in Braves country. 

Being I was lucky enough to make it to round two, my analytic mind had to analyze the potential results for the second round. All 8 competitors chose the Dodgers, so that series doesn't matter (everyone will get the same result no matter who wins).

That leaves 8 possible outcomes from the other three matchups, and in 5 of those scenarios we end up with a single winner!

Guardians / Astros / Braves - Bowersbird wins

Guardians / Astros / Phillies - Bowersbird and Tscastle advance

Guardians / Mariners / Braves - Jasongerman9, Ketchupman36, Jmkidd, crh614, Bowersbird advance

Guardians / Mariners / Phillies - MattnMiller wins

Yankees / Astros / Braves - Ymmat wins

Yankees / Astros / Phillies - Tscastle wins

Yankees / Mariners / Braves - Jasongerman9, Ketchupman36, Jmkidd, crh614 advance

Yankees / Mariners / Phillies - MattnMiller wins

With that out of the way, best of luck to all and enjoy the games!

I tried to map it out as well, but I was overthinking things. All I did manage to figure out was that me winning relies on the Guardians pulling off the upset. (I think I was the only one of the 8 who advanced that picked them?! Guess I missed the memo lol). Another quick observation is that Ymmat and MattnMiller have to win alone, whereas you and I could win alone or tie with each other. Everyone else only advances in a tie.

Anyway, thanks for laying it all out - it'll be fun to see how things go these next few days!
