Hello, and welcome to the /r/Baseball Pick em' Playoff Pick 'em Challenge! I'll be running the Playoff Challenge on a round-by-round basis, and I'll be making one thread per round. You'll be picking multiple variables for each series, with varying point values. This is the thread for the final round, the World Series.

10 Points:

• Pick the winner of the series.

6 Points:

• Pick the number of games played in the series.

• Who will be named the World Series MVP?

4 Points:

• What will the total run differential be between the two teams? (Ex: 5. You do not need to specify which team will score more runs)

• Which team will record the most total hits over the course of the series? (Per the official MLB box scores)

• How many innings total will starting pitchers pitch throughout the series? (Per the official MLB box scores - the pitchers that start the games only)

2 Points:

• Will there be a walk-off win for either team, in any game?

• Pick one pitcher from either team who will record a win, in any game of the series. There is only a possibility of one point for this, even if your pitcher records more than one win.

• Pick one batter from either team who will record a home run, in any game of the series. There is only a possibility of one point for this, even if your batter records more than one win.

Submitting Your Pick:

Picks can be submitted for all series that have yet to start. Once a series starts, those picks will be locked. If you decide to make a change in one of your picks, that's fine, just edit your post. However, picks for a series will be locked once the series starts (even if you make an edit).

Feel free to post your picks however you’d like, but feel free to use, or modify this simple table template:

If you have any questions, please leave it in the comments below. More questions will be added as the rounds go on, and I am taking suggestions for a few additional (fair) prop picks. Thank you everyone and Good luck!

Live Standings can be found here. I will try to update as soon as I can, to make them as updated as possible.
