MLB Playoff Predictions

Lets get on record here.

I'm really feeling a Phillies vs Twins World Series and it would also probably be the coldest MLB games ever played.

AL

The Twins just seems so poised to step up and go to the Series right now. They've really been under the radar as far as contenders go. Great batting. Pitching does enough. I'm really looking forward to Liariano's playoff start against the Yanks. He has a shot to set a tone that could last to the Series.

I just dont see it with the Yankees this year. They dont have the killer instinct they had last year. Once you get past CC, do they really trust Burnett? Yuck! Phil Hughes? I love Hughes, but i think he's out of his element ( DONNIE YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT! ).

Rays should beat the Rangers. I mean, the Rangers have Cliff Lee and a bunch of average pitchers in there rotation.

So ...

ALCS

Twins vs Rays

ALCS Champs - Twins

NL

Phillies vs Reds will be a red hot series. Aside from the Cubs, i've seen more Reds games then any other team. Bronson Arroyo is a sneaky good starter on this team, the two Roys and a red hot Cole Hammels is just too much for the Reds. Plus i think the Phils bats are alot hotter right now then the Reds. Phillies should take this pretty easily.

Giants vs Braves. Pitching again is a big thing for me here. The Giants have a great pitching staff. There bats are actually swinging pretty well right now. The Braves are very young. Hudson isnt going til the 2nd game. I know its Cox last year, but i dont think that emotional lift will be enough to beat the Giants.

NLCS

Giants vs Phillies

NLCS Champs

Phillies

World Series

Twins vs Phillies. Out of all the teams i've seen this year, the team that's looked the best to me is the Twins. There pitching doesnt blow anyone away, but its sufficient. There bats are fantastic. They dont have a ton of power, but the manufacture runs at a workman like rate. They have patient hitters in there lineup. And you need patient hitters to beat the two Roy's. I think this is the Twins year. I've loved this Twinkie team all year long. I think they gut out a 7 game series against a very game Phillies squad.

World Series Champions

Minnesota Twins

Once you're in it, you're in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight!
