As of Oct. 10

The division series is now officially over. In my last article I had the Dodgers vs. the Pirates and the Red Sox vs. the A’s, but that didn’t end up becoming the match up. The Pirates went five games with the Cardinals, but just couldn’t pull through and lost the series. The A’s also went five games with the Detroit Tigers and after a dominant performance by Tigers, ace Justin Verlander would be sent home early.

So, now the League Championship Series are underway. They began Oct. 11, and the matchups are as follows; the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox verses the Detroit Tigers.

Let’s start with the National league and the Cardinals and Dodgers. These are two great clubs, and it shows as their one series win from the World Series. I expect this to be the best matchup of the two series. The Dodgers pitching staff is much better then most in the majors, including the Cardinals, who’s staff is not horrible, but just not what the Dodgers bring to the table.

However, the Cardinals have the better team. There hitting is superior to the Dodgers and they are an October team. If there is one team to count on in the post season, it’s the Cards, and I have them World Series bound.

In the American League, the Sox are known for post-season miracles. In the New England area we know what happened in 2004, but the Tigers are the best team in the American League, if they play how they should. The Tigers are known for playing bad at times, but with that pitching staff, which is one of the top in the American League, and last years and probably this year MVP Miguel Cabrera, they got this one. That would put the Detroit Tigers against the St. Louis Cardinals. Look next week to see who’s in the World Series!
