The AL is definitely wide open this year. Last year you definitely got the feeling the Yankees were a step above and this year I don't feel like any of the 4 AL teams really stand out. Hence why I went with the homer pick and chose the Yanks.
No team in the AL really has amazing pitching. Looking through some stats Minnesota has Liriano and Pavano, NY has CC, Pettitte and TB has Price and Garza. After those guys the rest of the rotation has average starters. Texas actually has quite a few guys having good seasons though. Lee, Wilson, Lewis and Hunter all have been good this year.
Even with all that, I really feel like (much to the delight of a lot of people) that it'll be Yankees/Phillies again.
NY beats MIN. TB beats TEX.
NY beats TB.
PHI beats CIN. SF beats ATL.
PHI beats SF.
NY vs. PHI again. I think the Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt trio is too much. Even as a Yankee fan I can see that Philly has the best shot at winning this.
