Dodgers 2-0 Cubs
You know I think the Cubs still have a good shot of getting past the Dodgers. Yeah, they got pants-ed in back to back games at Wrigley--that's because the home fans are total bringdowns! The Cubs will rebound in LA, they'll relax and their superior pitching and hitting will finally shine through. I say the Cubs take games 3 & 4 in LA and then we'll see what that 'curse' is made of back in Wrigley in game 5. (Even though I like the Cubs to stage a brave comeback, I think I'm leaning toward the Dodgers rolling in game 5. We'll see. I picked the Cubs to begin with and I'm sticking by 'em.)
Brewers 0-2 Phillies
Unless the Brewers get Sabathia to pitch games 3, 4 & 5 (which I assure you they're considering as I write this!), they've got no shot at all. I give them a puncher's chance in game 3, but I don't see this series going back to Philly.
Red Sox 2-0 Angels
I'm disappointed in the Angels. They're hitting well, they're just not finishing. And they're pitching well but getting snakebit. The Red Sox have that mojo right now and it wasn't that long ago when the suggestion of the Red Sox having any mojo of any kind would've gotten you laughed out of the room. I don't like the Angels chances of winning 2 games (or even 1) at Fenway. Red Sox are rolling.
White Sox 0-2 Rays
The Rays look young and hungry while the White Sox look old and slow. The White Sox aren't finished, they can still rake and I think they've got a decent shot at sending this back to Tampa. But I definitely like the Rays to win 1 of the next 3 contests.
Ahhh, I love playoff baseball. I'd like it better if the Indians were still around but this is still good stuff.
