MLB Postseason Predictions

1 of 9

ST PETERSBURG, FL - OCTOBER 19: Starting pitcher Jon Lester #31 of the Boston Red Sox looks on against the Tampa Bay Rays in game seven of the American League Championship Series during the 2008 MLB playoffs on October 19, 2008 at Tropicana Field in St P

A lot of media pundits are already giving the World Series to the Yankees. However, I don't think that's completely true. These predictions are not based on what every one else think, but they are not based on the under dog either. I am just doing this based on what I think will do. So, No Yankees-Dodgers crap, but no Rockies-Twins either. So, here are my predictions.

ALDS- Boston vs. Los Angeles of Anaheim

BOSTON - OCTOBER 5: Julio Lugo #23 of the Boston Red Sox looks for the ball as Maicer Izturis #6 of the Los Angeles Angels steals second during Game 2 of the American League Division Series at Fenway Park October 5, 2007 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Phot

In the last 5 years, Boston has defeated the Angels in the first round. Is this the year all of that changes. The Angels are stacked with speedy, contact guys. Considering the woes the Red Sox have throwing out baserunners, I think the BoSox will be defeated in 5 games.

ALDS- Minnesota vs. New York

NEW YORK - MAY 17: Michael Cuddyer #5 of the Minnesota Twins steals second base against Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees on May 17, 2009 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx borough of New York City. The Yankees defeated the Twins 3-2 in ten innings. (P

This one should be a no-brainer, but unfortunetly, with the Twins, there are never no-brainers. The Yankees have a very strong team, and the Twins have been swept both times. However, the Twins have the secret weapon of the Metrodome, and who knows what will happen? However, it's not enough, as the Yanks win in 4.

NLDS- Colarado vs. Philadelphia

DENVER - APRIL 12: First baseman Todd Helton #17 of the Colorado Rockies take a pick off throw as Jason Werth #28 of the Philadelphia Phillies gets back to firstbase at Coors Field on April 12, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. The Phillies defeated the Rockies

This is a rematch of 2007, and it is a very interesting battle. It pits the last two National League pennamnt winners versus each other. I can't see the rox winning it, however, as the Phils sweep the Rockies.

NLDS- Los Angeles vs. St. Louis

LOS ANGELES, CA - AUGUST 19: Julio Lugo #12 of the St. Louis Cardinals forces out Manny Ramirez #99 of the Los Angeles Dodgers at second base at Dodger Stadium on August 19, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)

This is a showdown between two teams that have history, and could both very well beat each other. You have the young Dodgers, who are led by historical manager Joe Torre, and the Cards, with La Russa, Dave Duncan, and Jose Oquendo, along with Wainwright and Carpenter. I have the Cards winning in 5, as they are just too good.

ALCS- Los Angeles of Anaheim vs. New York

NEW YORK - AUGUST 13: Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees tags out Adam Kennedy #2 of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at second August 13, 2006 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)

We have here two totally different teams here. We have the slugging, power loving, billionaire Yankees, and we have the scrappy, speedy, not expensive or cheap Angels. Usually buying your players doesn't work, and it doesn't here either. Angels in 6.

MVP- Bobby Abreu

NLCS- Philadelphia vs. St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, MO - AUGUST 3: Jimmy Rollins #11 of the Philadelphia Phillies turns a double play over Yadier Molina #4 of the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium August 3, 2008 in St. Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

We have two storied franchises. The Phillies are hungry to defend their title, and the Cards are hard to get past with dual Cy Young threats. This goes all the way, with the Cardinals prevailing in seven.

MVP- Albert Pujols

World Series- St. Louis vs. Los Angeles of Anaheim

ST. LOUIS - JUNE 20: Darin Erstad #17 of the Anaheim Angels slides safely into home plate as Mike Matheny #22 of the St. Louis Cardinals drops the ball at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri on June 20, 2002. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

This is the big daddy game, crunch time. This is the World Series. They have the double duos of Waino and Carpenter, and sluggers Pujols and Holliday. However, the Angels have Abreu, Torii, and Aybar, along with fuel from late Nick Adenhart. Games 1 and 2 go to the Angels, however, the Cards take Game 3. Game 4 is all Angel City, and they finish it in 5.

Co-MVPs- Torii Hunter and Nick Adenhart
