FACT. I'm picking the Yankees. Although it's anybody's game technically, I see problems with the other three teams making it. Anaheim's starting pitching is insanely weak for a playoff team, the Red Sox have a shoddy bullpen and they're the Red Sox, and Minnesota doesn't have damn near any firepower or much pitching aside from Santana.The Yankees' pitching is not as trouble some as many think. Mussina should be fine in the playoffs, El Duque is always good, and John Lieber has been pitching very well lately. If they need depth, Brown and Vazquez are as good as you're gonna get in terms of off-the-bench guys. The Yankees have some flaws, but the fact remains: they're the Yankees. They are the favorite, and I think they're really gunning for a championship this season. I say Jeter leads the way and the Yanks get the Series again.
