Prediction Challenges!

Challenging the sports fan since 2004

MLB Postseason Rules

The Fall Classic is here!

The Prediction Challenge game challenges you to pick the series winners, and the number of games it will take them to win. The more accurate your predictions, the higher your score!

Each round of the baseball playoffs is equally important to win this contest, adding to the drama…there are 100 points up for grabs in each of the four rounds.

Predictions are submitted prior to each round.


The Prediction Challenge–how it works

The game is scored out of 400 points, spread equally over the four rounds. You receive an prediction form, make some simple predictions, and then cross your fingers.  If you’re good, you will do as well as those who are lucky, continuing sports’s most enduring rivalry.
