World Series

Nats vs Angels



Royals: Their squad is solid, but it lacks experience. If they do get past the As, I just don't think they're deep enough to make a run.

Athletics: I like the rotation enough to give them a shot. Don't feel the same about their offense.

Tigers: Like the rotation, hate the bullpen. Offense may or may not show up. If it does, they have a chance to make a run.

Orioles: I love the Orioles' squad, the only thing I believe can hold them back is the lack of experience in their rotation. Won't be surprised if they make it to the WS though.

Angels: Only weakness is the rotation for me. They could do scary things but they could always run into a hotter team.



Pirates: Pesky and well-rounded, however not dominating. They're the kind of team to get hot and make a run.

Giants: Professional team and experienced. They can always make a run, but I'm not convinced they will this year.

Cardinals: If I know anything about my Cardinals, it's to never count them out in October. The regular season means nothing to them when the playoffs begin (remember 06). But even with that being said, they've played some bad baseball lately. They've got to turn things around. They handled the Dodgers well last year though.

Dodgers: Studs. They very well may win it all if they're clicking on all cylinders.

Nats: Not much to dislike here. Very complete club.
