OK quick picks :?

NL
St. Louis over LA 3-1
I can't see what not to like about the Cards, 1-8 is strong, solid pitching, the only chance the Dodgers have maybe keeping it close, since Gagne is a monster. But with Pujols, Rolen and Walker all capable of the long ball, I don't see that happening. I really think that this is the time where Renteria starts to wake up as well.

Houston over Atlanta 3-0
Atlanta has been horrid in Turner over the last several years. I can see Clemens and Oswalt taking over the games in Hotlanta, leaving a relatively easy take out in Houston. Altanta can manufacture runs, but if they do keep it close, Lidge...

AL
Minnesota over New York 3-1
To be honest, I though Yankees on this one. They swept the last home series with the Twins, and I didn't see anything on Mini over Santana. Then I looked at it; NY is usually a slow starting team in the playoffs. This is no big deal for them and are likely to scare. I was still looking at NY to win in 5, but the way I figure, Santana takes the first, but NY splits the at home. I feel that Minni with Silva can take out a struggling Hernandez for their home playoff opener, which leaves game 4 with Santana again. That's the series.

Boston over Annaheim 3-2
This is the series, I could go either way. Both teams have run building and long ball capablilties. I love to see Vlady and Ramirez take batting practice out there. Bo-sox have it on the starting pitchers, not even close in the pen. I see Boston wins building out of the shoot, where Angels' wins are won in the stretch. IMO the advantage goes to D, and I like Boston's D over the second half. I think Sox will leave less players in scorring position, and will end up with a slight edge. Best series by far.
