I think St Louis did the same thing the past 2 years. They have such a huge divisional lead by Sept 1 that they take the month off. They were pretty good in the play offs the last two years. I figure they take this one too. prolly a close series though.
The Yankee's will crush the Tigers. The tigers have guys who are way too old or way too young. Even with a Johnson, a Wang and a Moose as their rotation, the 11 all stars in their linuep will put up 9 runs a game.
I give the slight edge to the Twins, Santana in Game 1 is a win, Santana in Game 4 or 5 is a win. Gonna be tough for the A's to win all 3 others. Also, the A's SUCK in the playoffs. They have since the mid 70's. Even that mini-dynasty from 88-90. They were the best team in baseball all 3 years but laid two giant flops in the world series. In 2003 they choked big time in round 1 of the playoffs, squandering a 2-0 lead. They aren't advancing but they will make it interesting.
Yanks beat Twins in 6. Santana can only pitch twice and the Yanks will hit off of anyone else.
Mets beat cards. They have the best offense of any team in AAAA, sorry I mean the National League.
The Subway series is intriging and I can't really call it until I see how the Met's pitching does without Pedro.
