With a potential MVP in young David Wright, there is no way the 'Stros win more than one game in the series. Add big batters Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado and Roger Clemens, Lance Berkman and crew are one and done.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Diego Padres
ALDS
Cardinals 3-2
Inconsisten pitching by the Cardinals will keep San Diego in this series. Jake Peavy will win his start, but in the end Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen and the St. Louis offense will be too much for the Padres to handle.
American League
Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers
ALDS
White Sox 3-1
The White Sox veteran bats (Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, and Jermaine Dye) and good pitching (Jose Contreras and Co.) will take out the young Tigers. Kenny Rodgers will be very solid, but the Tigers must wait a year.
Boston Red Sox vs. Oakland Athletics
ALDS
Red Sox 3-0
Boston has the best lineup in the league, and David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez always show up in the playoffs. The A's are just too inconsisten when it comes to hitting the ball.
National League
New York Mets vs. St. Louis Cardinals
NLCS
Mets 4-2
The Mets combination of pitching and offense will win out the Cardinals. Pujols needs a little more help to do something in the playoffs. Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine will show up when it counts.
American League
Boston Red Sox vs. Chicago White Sox
ALCS
Red Sox 4-3
In a battle of the Sox the red one's will come out on top. Mr. Clutch a.k.a Big Papi David Ortiz will come up huge and Josh Beckett (Marlins 2003) remembers what a World Series Championship feels like.
WORLD SERIES
Boston Red Sox vs. New York Mets
Red Sox 4-2
The Sox pitching will come up huge against the Mets' young guns. David Wright won't be as effective as he was during the regular season, and Manny wins MVP for the second time in his career. Josh Beckett wins game Six for the Sox. Papelbon saves 3 in the series.
