Quick Picks

Hey Everyone,

Here are my baseball picks for the 2006 MLB playoffs. I don't have time right now to go into the analysis of my picks (I will get this to you in the next few days) but in the mean time here is how I see things shaping out.

AL
Oakland over Minnesota in 5

New York Yankee's over Detroit in 4

NL

San Diego over St. Louis in 5

New York Mets over Los Angeles in 5

I know a lot of you want me to keep on going, but I'm not going to because injuries happen, pitching staffs get wasted, excetera. So, all I'm going to say is that, unfortunately, the Yankee's will win because they have a deadly offense, an alright defense, and a deep pitching staff. I know that the critics will argue that this is what they've possessed in previous years only to lose to the Marlins in the 2003 World Series and to the Red Sox in the 2005 infamous AL Final blow up. This year, that Yankee locker room is focused on the prize, not the spotlight or the dollars. When guys like Jeter, A-Rod (E-Rod), and Johnson are saying that they will gladly take a back seat if they aren't playing well and would do anything the Torrie asks them to do to win you know that things have changed in Yankee land and that members of those oh so close teams of the previous years have changed their tune and made sure that everyone in the locker room has done the same. This is the main reason why the Yankee's win the World Series this year.... unfortunately.
