I'm really not up to discussing this right now since my Cubs have folded like a cheap card table. :(
But I will try to overcome my grief & give my picks. lol :D

AL champ: Seatle (after the season they've had, they have to be the odds-on favorite)

NL champ: Arizona (the Johnson-Schilling combo will be formidable in the post-season)

In the AL I like Oakland, Over the last while Seattle has cooled off while Oakland picked up Dye, Chavez has ran wild over the last month and a half. I think Oakland has a well balanced offense and defense. Seattle will fold like last years White Sox

In the NL, I also like Arizona for as already mentioned the two pitchers in a short series being able to throw both johnston and schilling back to back is awesome

Okay, here we go, in the American League I like the YANKEES. Say what you want about the Seatle boys, they dont have the play off experience of the Yankees. The yankees are AUTOMATIC in the playoffs. Musina is throwing well, Clemens should be league MVP and Cy Young winner, ANdy Pettite is the best lefty in baseball when it comes to play off baseball. They are simply the best TEAM in all of baseball.

National League. As much as it pains me, (AND TRUST ME THIS IS PAINFULL TO ADMIT) The St Louis Cardinals are pulling together and are red hot right now. Before it was, could they make the wild card, now it is, will they win the division. THey are playing great. (BEST MID SEASON PICK UP, WOODY WILLIAMS Pitcher from San Diego in the trade where St Louis dumped Ray Lankford he is like 9-1 since coming over)

St Louis vs New York Yankees in the World Series, Yankees win in 6.

THIS WOULD BE GREAT SINCE I LIVE IN ST LOUIS BUT AM A YANKEES FAN!
