I am going to go with the
Yankees in five. I think this series is closer than people think. I know the
Indians were 0-6 against the Yanks and were dominated. But ever since the
Indians got swept in August, they have been a house of fire and ended up with MLB's best record. They are a dangerous team right now. Travis Hafner didn't even his best season and look at what they did. Sabathia and CaRMONA could win this series by themselves.
Red Sox over
Angels in four.
Red Sox have the starting pitching and the
Angels never play well against the Sox. The
Angels have no lineup except Vladimir but Garrett Anderson has been on fire the second half. I am just going on matchups and The
Angels just can't beat the Sox just like The Yanks can't beat them.
I like the
Cubs over the D Backs in 4. I just think they are better team top to bottom. I still can't figure out how the D backs won the NL West but they play great ball behind Melvin. But the D backs have the Billy Goat factor working for them you never know what Steve Bartman moment is coming for the
Cubs. It's coming but not in the first round.
The best series will be the
Rockies and
Phillies. I like The
Rockies in Five. They botrh have awesome lineupas but I think the Rox have the better bullpen and that is what it will come down to. The
Phillies won the NL East in amazing fashion but the
Rockies are on a bigger
magic carpet and the way they won last night was amazing. Plsu I feel Coors field has little more
magic to it than Citizens Bank. It will be a great long 5 Game slug fest.!
