After years of finding 40 or more expert predictions for the NBA Finals, the quick turnaround in the bubble leads to an abbreviated list this year. (Only one ESPN pick so far? One year had 27!) We still found 22 picks, and the way they are trending – 19 of 22 are taking the Lakers …

Last year’s Stanley Cup Final started on Memorial Day. Now it’s well after Labor Day and the St. Louis Blues are still Stanley Cup champions, the longest NHL reign since… well, these same Tampa Bay Lightning that find themselves in this year’s Final got to keep it an extra year due to the 2004 lockout.

Life finds a way… to get in the way. We almost forgot to post our World Series predictions this year. Or maybe we were protesting until Brandon Taubman was fired. Either way, we look smart, because after that Astros gaffe – the awful handling of it on top of the absurd outburst of the assistant …

47 out of 71 expert picks we found like the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Houston Astros in the 2017 World Series. No matter who wins, it’s going to end another drought. Sure, it’s not 108 years like the Chicago Cubs last year, but waiting since 1988 or forever (okay, 1962) is still a long time. …
