After an amazing game last night, the AL Central has finally been decided and the playoff picture is complete. Here's how the match ups look for the LDSes and some predictions.
NL:
Rockies/Phillies: Philly in 3. Let's face it, they look good and Colorado lost their ace Jorge De La Rosa to a groin injury. They may take one, but Philly will prevail. That is if their bullpen can hold it together.
Cardinals/Dodgers: Cards in 4. I'm really looking at the pitching in this match up because their offense is pretty evenly matched. But Cardinals pitching is just phenomenal, two Cy Young candidates? And we all know how the Dodgers love to choke in October.
AL:
Red Sox/Angels: Red Sox in 5. This series will come to the bitter end, judging by the Red Sox pitching the first two game will decide this series. Lester and Beckett pitching away, then the shakiest part of the rotation, who have not been impressive whatsoever. The Angels are going to run all over the place, but in the end J-Bay and the firey Sox offense will prevail.
Yankees/ Minnesota: New York in 3. As much I would hate to see the Metrodome's last game go down in a loss, but it's inevitable. The Twins pitching is exhausted, their offense is beat and they arrived in New York at 3 in the morning. They had to use their best pitcher just to make the postseason. Sorry Twins fans, it was a great run and an instant classic, but it's New York's year.
