After watching the White Sox get schooled by the Rays in the first two games of the ALDS, it's pretty obvious the Twins took whatever last bit of spunk Chicago had left.
The Angels/Red Sox series is certainly more competitive and entertaining.
Over in the NLDS, it looks like the Brewers are suffering the same pre-playoff hangover as the White Sox. It is puzzling, though, why the Cubs have been so cruddy in their playoff series with the Dodgers. L.A. is playing with a lot of pizazz, but the Cubs are doing nothing for their cause.
I predicted an Angels World Series title after a tour of the Cactus League back in early March and haven't changed my mind. Either way, I believe the tournament winner will come from the American League. If I had to bet, I'd put my money on an Angels vs. Phillies final with the LA Anaheim Angels of California winning in five games.
