i think destiny is with the mets....coming across strong despite major setbacks in the pitching staff is a bad omen for the other teams

ALCS
Tigers-1
Yankees-3
Detroit has been aweful as of late. They will get lucky and take one from the Yanks.
A's-2
Twins-3
These two teams are basically mirror images of each other. The Twins are a slightly better team and will pick up the win.
NLDS
Dodgers-3
Mets-2
No Pedro gives the Dodgers a clear pitching edge. This will be the difference in the series.
Cardinals-0
Padres-3
The Cardinals don't even deserve to be here with the way they played the last month and a half. Their stay in the playoffs will be short.
NLCS
Dodgers-4
Padres-2
Dodgers have again better pitching and are a better overall team. The Padres will not be able to keep up.
ALCS
Twins-4
Yankees-3
This one could be one for the ages. A small market low-budget team against the favorite Yankees. There is no doubt that the Yankees have more talent, but the Twins are a better team. The Twins have found ways to win in the last three and a half months. While the Yanks will no doubt kick thier asses in one or two games, the series advantage I will give to the underdog Twins.
WS
Twins-4
Dodgers-1
Either the Twins or Yankees will not have a problem easily winning the series against an inferior NL team.

Yankees over the Tigers 3 games to 1.
The Tigers are just playing horrible right now and I can't see them changing that fast enough to beat the Yankees in a 5 game series.
Twins over the Athletics 3 games to 2.
This should be a really good series with both teams having a solid group of players. Overall I think the Twins have the edge and will pull out the series win
Padres over the Cardinals 3 games to 1.
The Padres are playing some good baseball right now and have arguably the best bullpen in baseball. Add that to a solid rotation, good defense, timely hitting, & a poor playing Cards team right now and the Padres should win this series.
Mets over the Dodgers 3 games to 1.
The Dodgers have some big names & solid talent on their team but the Mets team seems to have the edge even without Pedro Martinez.
Twins over the Yankees 4 games to 3.
I haven't had a chance to see many Twins or Yankee games being here in Arizona, but from what I have seen I just don't see the Yankees overpowering the Twins.
Padres over the Mets 4 games to 3.
While the Mets do have the power and some solid pitching to help them in the post-season they won't get past the Padres. They don't need Pedro to beet the Dodgers but I think they would in order to beat the Padres.
Twins over the Padres 4 games to 2.
It should be a good series with some good pitching but in the end the Twins have a better rotation and it should win them the 2006 World Series.
Go D-Backs, 2007 World Series Champions!!!

N.L- well i have the cardinals beating the padres in 6 games.i know the padres have a terrific pitching staff,but i believe that since the cards have more experience and pujols they will come out on top,it will be a exciting series.
N.L-well im a dodger fan so i believe that the dodgers will wini have 2 keep a positive look on this.dodgers will have lowe,penny,maddux,those R 3 good pitchers and all 3 have world series experince.mets have glavine and hernandez u dont know what 2 expect of him.i know the mets have a strong line-up and 2 me the most exciting line-up but i feel the dodgers will stop them,in 7 games.
A.L-well good season 4 the tigers but their season ends here,they will fall to the yanks in 5 games,the yanks R more dominant have more experience and will get the job done.
A.L-twins R a terrific team i say they win in 6 games i dont think that the A's will beat the twins.SANTANA
NL 2nd Round-dodgers and cards,i will put the dodgers over the cards in 6 games,i believe because of their pitchers they can take the series,i think the dodgers have a all around hitting lineup and dept + they R my favorite team.
A.L 2nd round yanks and twins,im gonna take the twins,i know that the yanks have an awesome lineup,and a good pitching staff,but the twins R just so resiliant,im gonna say twins in 7.
WORLD SERIES- im gonna say the twins,even dough im a dodger,4 the past 2 months the way they played i feel that its their year this year.i say twins in 5.
hold on i dint know first round was best of 5-cards in 4,dodgers in 5,yanks in 4,twins in 4.
Source(s): I hope you read all of it,i gave my ohnest thoughts,and keep this info lets see if it is like i predicted. - 1 decade ago
