Last week, MLB.com released predictions for the next 10 World Series matchups. Perhaps the most surprising forecast for a future Fall Classic was the Rockies beating the Angels for the title in 2033.
MLB.com writer Will Leitch didn’t give much of a meaty explanation for the pick, other than to say “it’s gonna be the Rockies’ time at some point” to win a championship. After all, Colorado’s never won the National League West in 31 years of existence and has been to only one World Series, the miraculous Rocktober run in 2007, when the Rockies were swept by the Red Sox.
