2017 League Championship Series Predictions: Anybody But L.A.

I wish that I had some reason to explain why I so passionately dislike the Los Angeles Dodgers, but there is no single isolated event that I can recall that led me to feel this way. The Dodgers easily swept away Arizona last round and appear to be living up to the hype thus far in the playoffs. I picked Los Angeles last year in the NLCS under the assumption that some unfortunate series of events would befall Chicago (I guess the Nationals have now taken over the seeming postseason curse).

I'm going to predict the World Series that I'm actually rooting to see, which is the Houston Astros playing the Chicago Cubs. I'm preparing for disappointment though.
