I’ll admit up front I am a die-hard Philadelphia Phillies fan and while they are favored by most pundits and experts, I’m picking them to win overall. However, I want to be fair and at least offer my picks for each series:

OK so I was wrong about Twins-Yankees. I’m still learning toward calling it right for Phillies-Reds, Texas-Tampa Bay and the jury is still out on SF-ATL.
Stay tuned for LCS picks once we know all teams! In the meantime, who do you think SHOULD win? Take a swing at guessing!
Greg Oct 10 20101:39 pm
My first swing is Philadelphia vs. San Francisco
Next is Texas vs. NY Yankees
Phillies beat Giants
Yankees sweep Texas like they did Minnesota
World Series is rematch from 2009 but this time the Phillies beat the Evil Empire.
Phillies win in games because of home field advantage and Citizens Bank Park goes absolutely insane in the membrane!!!

I wouldn’t count out the Rays just yet. The early indications are that we might be looking at a World Series rematch between New York and Philadelphia. The Giants Braves series is a toss-up, but I like the Giants.

Mooks, all of ya. Who gives up on the Yankees? Never. Championship number 28 coming up.
