Ok, I figured I had to be the first to say it. But I'm afraid the White Sox are going to beat Boston, they've righted the ship just in time. And Anaheim has the Yankees' number, so I'm picking Anaheim-White Sox in the ALCS. I think Anaheim will win that in 7 to go to the World Series.
I would love to see the 'Stros make it out of the NL. I think they'll beat Atlanta, and get another showdown with the Cardinals. Hard to go against St Louis in that one.
St Louis and Anaheim in the World Series, Cards in six.
I'm picking Anaheim to win it all but I think Boston will beat Chicago.
It's all about the pitching and Chicago has it. They shut down a Cleveland team desperate to win and who had been hot until running into a Tampa team that has given the Sox and Yankees problems all year. The Red Sox rely upon walks to make their offense work. Outside of Damon they have no real base stealing speed and they strike out a lot.
