1st Round - #6 Chicago Cubs vs. #27 Baltimore Orioles

Cubs vs. O's. Two older franchises, one cursed and the other the owner of World Series rings, but recently the Cubs have done more winning than Baltimore. The Orioles have been stuck in a decade+ long Angelosian funk.

Rotations -

Cubs - Fergie Jenkins, 3 Fingers Brown, Charlie Root, Ed Reulbach

O's - Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar, Mike Mussina

Prediction - I foresee the tourney's first upset; the Cubs pitching and offense isn't 21 spots better than Baltimore's and a lower seed has to win eventually. Might as well be now. Orioles in 6.
