Sound off: Who do you have in the World Series?
 At the dawn of August, we're learning a lot more about which teams are contenders and which are...ahem...pretenders. Outside of the AL East, each division is easily up for grabs with very close races -- although the AL East is only separated by 6.5 games, a margin which is easily erased with a bad series or two. So, with so many teams (15 to be exact) still realistically having playoff potential at this stage of the season, we're going to be darned impressed when you accurately predict the World Series. So who do you have winning both leagues and playing in the World Series? Sound off! |
Re: Sound off: Who do you have in the World Series?
The Braves are playing so strongly, that I have a feeling their healthiest lineup can take on anybody.
I also want to see what kind of finish the A's will have by the end of all of this. I don't think they are the AL favorites by any means, but I'd certainly like them to be when all is said and done. |
Completely biased here, Tampa Bay Rays vs Los Angeles Dodgers.

Homer Pick: Tigers vs Dodgers
I wish Detroit could get themselves together and make a run to the WS...but the pitching (outside of Verlander on most nights) and offense (outside of Biggie and Miggy) are both struggling pretty heavily right now. They might not even make the playoffs if this continues. And the Dodgers speak for themselves, I love what they did at the Deadline and I think they have such a strong team overall. Realistic Pick: Angels vs Dodgers Dodgers like I said earlier, strong team overall. Angels are a juggernaut with very good pitching and I think whoever wins the duel between them and Texas is a much more realistic pick to win the AL Pennant. And with LAA having 4 guys who can lock you down on any given night, I'd have to give them the edge heading into a series with Texas...although I think it would go 7 and it would be a hell of a series. |
Texas Rangers v. Atlanta Braves
I'm fairly strong behind TEX, but the NL is wide open. I'm very excited to see the Reds make the postseason and have a realistic shot at going to the Fall Classic. |

Ask again later.

I am a Braves fan but the lineup this year can compete with anyone if Uggla gets hot. The pitching is there and Mike Minor is coming around at a good time in the season. I feel like the Braves can take down Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, LA, and Washington.
In the AL, I would have to vote Chicago White Sox with the Angels closely behind them. I love Chicago's pickups at the deadline and I feel like they could be the most dangerous team in the playoffs. Braves vs. White Sox |
