Yankees over Twins - CC has proven that he can carry teams in the playoffs on his stomach, I mean, back. Yankees really choked away home field but the Yankees can hit anywhere. With Justin Morneau still sidelined, the Twins just don’t have enough.
Rangers over Rays - Cliff Lee, like CC, can eat up innings when it matters and with a contract pending, his motivation is greater than ever. Cliff Lee owns the Rays historically too. The Rangers overall pitching staff is also better than the Rays. Josh Hamilton’s health is a question mark but Rays star, Evan Longoria, is also dealing with a quad issue.
Phillies over Reds - Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt. Enough said.
Giants over Braves - Giants might be the hottest team going into the playoffs and seem to have the edge in pitching on paper with Lincecum and Cain. Giants just have that “magical” look to them this year.
World Series - Phillies and Rangers.
Champion - Phillies
