| Series | Winner | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Red Sox-Angels | Sox in 5 | Home field plus better bullpen. Changing of the guard at catcher for the Red Sox. Ellsbury is the difference. Abreu re-surfaces. |
| Dodgers - Cards | Dodgers in 4 | Torre manages better than LaRussa. Manny shines. Cards' Cy Young candidates are overrated. |
| Phils - Rockies | Phils in 4 | Phils have the edge offensively. Rockies are riding their late-season rush (again) and may win one at home. Phils could almost play in the AL East. Almost. |
| Yankees- Twins | Yankees in 3 | Biggest danger for the Yankees is to finish too soon and then have to wait for the war between Boston and LA to conclude. |
| League Championship Series | ||
| Yankees - Red Sox | Yankees in 5 | It's been too long for Derek Jeter and company. This may be the best team he's played on. Girardi goes back to Posada behind the plate for every game, realizing he needs the extra bat. Burnett is on the spot. |
| Phils - Dodgers | Phils in 6 | Manny does all he can. Then gets lost on the way to left field. Phils have too much depth, offense and pitching. And Howard. |
| World Series | ||
| Yankees - Phils | Yankees in 5 | Phils almost have the power to compete with the Bombers. But not quite enough. Yankees have better pitching and the home field advantage. Sabbathia becomes a Yankee legend. |

This sounds like you're hoping to be WRONG!!!
I would never pick the Red Sox over the Yankees, even if Horace Clark and Jerry Kenny were back booting balls when they were the double-play combo.
This is not the year for the Red Sox. They never should have traded Nomar.
