Its finally time for the playoffs to finish off possibly the best baseball season of all time. Who do you think is gonna win it all?
American League:
NY vs Oakland:
New York is an amazing playoff team (and they really have something to play for after Sept 11) but I don't think they can beat the A's. Oakland just seems TOO good to be beaten by anybody. They had a better second half record than anybody. Oakland in 5.
Cleveland vs. Seattle:
Cleveland probably has the best offense in the AL, but their pitching is just pathetic. Colon has been underachieving and Finley is getting too old. I heard they might stick to a 3 man rotation, which would make it interesting to see how C.C. handles only a few days rest this late in the season. Seattle won 116 games for a reason. They are a great baseball team. Seattle in 4.
Seattle vs. Oakland:
This is going to be the true World Series matchup. Whoever wins here will take it all. I expect a 7 game battle, giving the edge to Oakland. (They did sweep Seattle near the end of the season). Oakland in 7.
National League:
St Louis vs. Arizona:
I am a huge Cardinals fan and really dreaded having to face Arizona in a 5 game series. They are going to face the two best pitchers in the MLB 3 times out of 5 games. But St Louis was also a great second half team with a very solid pitching rotation. St Louis in 5.
Houston vs. Atlanta:
Atlanta has also been underachieving for a big part of the year, but they are still an excellent team. The Astros are slumping, and will miss Oswalt in the first series (maybe game 4?). Atlanta in 4.
St Louis vs. Atlanta:
Ok, I can dream can't I? Cardinals in 5.
World Series:
St Louis vs. Oakland:
Oakland is the best team in baseball. Oakland in 5.
Sorry for the long post. Let me know what you think...post your predictions!
