MLB Postseason Picks

New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins
 I just can't see the Yankees losing this one. I wouldn't call the Yanks' pitching great but their lineup sure is. 
  Yankees win series 3-1

Texas Rangers vs. Tampa Bay Rays
 I really like both of these teams and i don't think homefield is much of an advantage. I'm tempted to pick the Rangers but i'm not sure how bad Josh Hamilton's injury is and he has to be close to 100% for his team to have a chance. Still i believe this will be the most entertaining and close division series. In the end, i think the Rays pitching will get them to the next round.
    Rays win series 3-2

Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies
  I want to be wrong but i don't think the Phillies can be stopped at this point. The Reds are a solid team led by ,who should be the NL MVP, Joey Votto and have good pitching but the Phillies will be too good. Having Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt pitching in a five game series is a huge advantage and the Phillies can put runs on the board in a hurry.
      Phillies win series 3-1

San Francisco Giants vs. Atlanta Braves
 This series is certainly not the most interesting of this year's postseason but could produce some good close games. The storyline of Bobby Cox's last season will be interesting but the main story of this series will be pitching. I don't expect any high scoring games and i have this series going to the Giants.
      Giants win 3-2
