Phillies defeat Brewers 3-1…The bottom line is the Brewers have no starting pitching outside of CC these days after Sheets went down with an injury and don’t even get me started on their bullpen. The Phillies are a well rounded team and will redeem their first round loss last year against Colorado.
Cubs defeat Dodgers 3-2…This series will be a lot closer than many people are predicting. I know the Cubs have the best talent in the National League hands down, but the Dodgers have been playing like the Rockies did last year. I think there is even a small chance the Dodgers could win, but in the end the Cubs offense and bullpen will win out in game 5.
Red Sox defeat Angels 3-1…For some reason it is never good to have the best record in the regular season in the MLB. Over the last 11 years only two teams with the best regular season record has won the World Series. I think this recent history in conjunction with how well the Red Sox have played in the postseason will lead to Boston winning the series.
Rays defeat White Sox 3-1…The Rays are getting healthy and the White Sox are gassed, nuff said.
