You know that dramatic song when somebody wins something or your favorite team wins something... Oh if you could see my face now! Your new Champions of the World, winning the World Series in 6 games and proving MLB why they should have held the All-Star Game in Atlanta, The Atlanta Braves have won the 2021 World Series and I have finally got a big prediction right!

The San Diego Padres go out and make a couple of hires after firing their manager, Jayce Tingler. They hire a new pitching coach in Ruben Niebla, and a new manager, in former A's manager, Bob Melvin.

Both the NLCS and the ALCS head into pivotal Game 6's with the Braves squaring off against the Dodgers at home, while the Red Sox go to Houston to take on the Astros. With a win for the Braves or Astros, they will both advance into the 2021 World Series! And I might get a prediction right for the first time! But... there is always a but. If the Red Sox or Dodgers win, it will force decisive Game 7's. What will happen? The Braves have been coming up clutch and make a statement as they led the series against the Dodgers 3 games to 1. The now head home to face Max Scherzer, and have a chance to get to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1999. For the Astros it's a chance to prove all the haters wrong! To get back to the Fall Classic and show everyone that they are a good team and that they don't have to cheat to win. Who is going to take it all? Will upsets happen? Will we see a new team in the World Series? Will I finally get a prediction right? Probably not. But who cares, what will happen? We will just have to wait and see.
