This has been a really interesting baseball season. There are many good teams, and some great ones too. The Yankees and Phillies look particularly dangerous.
This season has taken some unexpected turns, and some teams are near the top that we never really thought we'd see there. Let's see where things are and where they may go. I can say with certainty that this post season will be a very interesting one. I can't wait for it to begin.
There have been underachievers in baseball, and others who have impressed us throughout the year. As for underachievers, the Mets have been hit hard with injuries and it looks like their season is over.
Other teams whose seasons are done include teams like the Royals, Indians, Orioles, Padres, Diamondbacks, Pirates, and others. Still, there are other teams who don't really stand a chance.
Now comes the Wild Card Race. The Red Sox are currently leading the American League race, while the Rockies are holding on in the National league. Now as the race stands I believe that the Red Sox will hold on, but in the National league I think that it will be a closer race.
If this were the case, the Yanks, Sox, Tigers, and Angels would round out the American League playoff picture and the Braves, Cards, Dodgers, and Phillies would represent the National League.
So far I think that all of you that are reading this are saying in you head that I am going to pick the Yankees because they are my favorite team, but you will be surprised with my next pick. And here is the World Series.
Yankees and Phillies do meet in the World Series like many expect (yes, they're both that good this season). However, the Phillies surprise baseball fans with a repeat World Series.
