LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES PICKS
National League Championship Series
Florida Marlins vs Chicago Cubs
CUBS IN SIX
I may have went to school with Dontrelle Willis, but the fans of South Florida don't deserve to see another World Series in this lifetime. The Marlins playing in two World Series in their 11 years of existence while the Cubs haven't won one in 95 years? That's not right.
The Cubs simply have the better ballclub. I like the Marlins, with their young and exciting players. But Mark Prior and Kerry Wood are on a mission right now. And quite frankly, the Cubs fans have suffered long enough.
NLCS MVP: Eric Karros, Chicago first baseman
American League Championship Series
Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees
RED SOX IN SEVEN
Same with the Cubs fans, the Red Sox fans have suffered long enough. This Yankee ballclub is not World Championship-material, compared with the previous Yankee teams of the past decade.
This is just one of those years where you should expect the unexpected, so take the Sox in seven over the Yanks. The Sox bullpen has been bashed all year long, but I think they will take it up another notch in the ALCS.
ALCS MVP: Kevin "No Longer Emerson Hart" Millar, Boston first baseman
First pitch of the NLCS in about an hour...enjoy.
