Playoff Matchups

National League

New York Mets vs. Houston Astros

ALDS

Mets 3-1

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.

Albert Pujols

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.

Jose Contreras

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.
