AL and NL Championship Series Predictions

Basesball picks

We were pretty dead on with our divisional predictions, but that shouldn’t be a shock since we rock it till the wheels come off. We hit the Red Sox and Rays on the nose predicting both would win 3-1 and we missed the Phillies series by only one. We knew the Dodgers had a chance, but we sure didn’t see a sweep coming so this was the one we truly missed.

Rays defeat Red Sox 4-3…This team just feels like the Marlins of ’03 for some reason. The Red Sox are the defending champs and have all the mystique, but the Rays aren’t scared. The Rays won the regular season series between the two and have the post-season jitters gone after breezing past the White Sox. The one other reason I think the Rays win is because Beckett isn’t healthy and without him the Rays will have just enough to make their first World Series.

Dodgers defeat Phillies 4-2…Manny, Manny, Manny. Ramirez has been in this spot a lot and his entire team right now is feeding off of him. That along with the fact I believe the Dodgers starting pitching is considerably better than the Phillies allows the Dodgers to make it back to the World Series for the first time in 20 years.

Thoughts???

  1. 1st of all I bleed Dodger Blue..
    This year has a ring to it like the Orel and Gibby days…
    As far as the American League.. for the good of Baseball I hope that Manny gets to go back to Boston and beat their ass.. I hate Boston.. The Reys got the team they wanted in the first round.. They beat a team who was beat up emotionally and physically.. I think the Red Sox are also a bit beat up but I see 7 games and the Sox meeting the Dodgers in the World Series.. Again a Boston v LA final in sports.. what could be better than that?

  2. There is no way the Rays beat the Sox in the ALCS so there is one pick wrong. I will give you the Dodgers one, but don’t count on it.

  3. There is nothing better than a Sox vs Dodgers series and destiny will lead us there.
