Division Series Predictions

Tonight, the White Sox play host to the Twins. I think the Twins will win and play Tampa Bay. Now for my Division Series predictions. I think the Cubs will sweep the Dodgers. Had the Dodgers played in any other division, they would have been eliminated a while ago. The Cubs have the best starting pitching in baseball and should easily get through the first round. The Phillies play host to the Brewers in the first round. After C.C. Sabathia, Milwaukees's only other good starter is Ben Shhets, and he's hurt. Philadelphia in four. On the AL side of the playoffs, the surprise of the season, Tampa Bay will host either Chicago or Minnesota. Either way, I think Tampa Bay has too much chemistry to lose in the first round. Finally, we have the Angels and Red Sox. This is an interesting series because although the Angels were the best team in baseball in the regular season, it seems like they can't beat Boston in the playoffs. I think with the lineup that the Angels have, they will exorcise their demons and move on to the ALCS.
