[-STAT-]

Seems every year the Angels have one of the best teams in the majors during the regular season, then they get into the playoffs and totally bust, don't see anything changing this year. The Rays have had an excellent season, but I feel when they get in the playoffs that the lack of experience will hurt them. Of course I will be rooting for the Red Sox, but pitching is a problem right now. Other than Lester who is 15-5 on the season, they definitely need Josh Beckett to be 100% going down the home stretch going into the postseason.

For the National League, the Cubs would be the odds on favorite to win it. They have been the most consistent team in the NL the whole season. With the Brewers slumping, the Mets and Phillies fighting for the NL East(again), you just don't know what to expect from the National League.

Should be a fun and exciting post season to watch. Especially without the Braves or the Yankees in it!
