Ok. The MLB post-season starts this evening. The Red Sox ended up with the best record in baseball. I read somewhere (espn.com) that only once (since 1990) has the team with the best record won the World Series. (Yeah, it was the stupid Yankees in '98). So it's not an impossible task for them to win the whole thing, right? Well, I wanted to see what the experts had to say. At least about the upcoming series with the Angels. One step at a time, right? Well, this is what I found:
ESPN Experts:
9 out of 10 pick Red Sox to win series.
Yahoo Sports says:
Sox have strong pitching and long-ball prowess. Home field is big here. Boston in five.
MSN guy says:
I probably would pick the Red Sox even if the Angels were whole. Good as the Angels are, their various physical and performance concerns make this an easy call. Prediction: Red Sox in 4
Dan Shaughnessy:
Red Sox over Angels in 4: Papelbon in Riverdance II and another rally at City Hall.
And then I had to see what they were saying about the Yankees...
Yahoo Sports on the Yankees:
Toss-up series will be determined by how Yankees handle Sabathia.
ESPN Experts:
7 say Indians will win, 3 say Yankees.
Well, I love what Dan Shaughnessy had to say. And yes, I too would like to see Papelbon celebrate again! (Um, where are his pants??)
