if i had to pick these.....
id pick cubs, angels(love that price), yankees, and sentimentally i pick the phillies.
if i have to be objective...i truly feel the 2 best nl teams are facing each other in phils/rockies series.
1 of 2 things can happen here, the winner should go on to world series.
the second thing is, these teams wille xhaust bullpens in the 10-9, 12-7, 8-6 games we r gonna see, its quite possible the cubs will face a emotionally drained or run down team in NLCS (assuming cubs win)
i feel the least confident about the phillies pick, primarily becs the rockies are hottest team in baseball, and the only team that could outscore the phils.
for some reason the angels just seems like a "wrong team favored line". sure they could lose, but i belive this line has the most value
I'll take the Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and the Phillies/Rockies I really might flip a friggin coin.I agree about Angels. They beat Beckett in game #1 they take this series IMO. Like Arizona 2nd best, Cubs and Z go down game #1 and then throw out 2 straight lefties which is Zona's strong suit. Chekc their record vs lefties this year. VERy GOOD!! Anyway, looking to see what your gonna be playing throught the MLB playoffs bro. Starting to like NYYanks instead of Tribe 2.

This is just unbelievable how the Rockies came back and won 14 out of their last 15 and made the playoffs. They travel to Philladelphia, a team who the went 3-4 against with a full head of steam. The Rockies have got to be absolutely flying high right now and ready for some playoff baseball.
The Phillies on the other hand are thankful that they made the playoffs with the dismise of the Mets. The Phillies did have to earn their strips though by winning when it mattered. Everyone has always spoke about the horrid pitching staff, but the Phillies had some great work out of their relief on the winning streatch. Its just hard to say, bad pitching will get you beat by the Rockies 8 times of 10 I would say.
KtG are you saying that the Cubs get swept by the D-bags? I wouldn't bank on that...
