Birds Flying High

It is now time for the baseball postseason, and a sensational 1 game playoff for the AL Central went beyond its hype. Down 3-0 early, the twins rallied to beat the Tigers 6-5 in 12 innings, in a game that featured great plays, coaching, and a dramatic finish. Winning 17 of their last 21 games of the season, the Twins seized the AL Central, and what is their reward? They will face the Yankees, who hold the best record in baseball. New York, who remarkably hasn't won the World Series since 2000, will make the World Series, but not win it. That luxury will belong to the St. Louis Cardinals. Earlier in the season, I made a bold claim that the redbirds would win it all, when they were only up 1 game in their division. Since then, they've added hot bat Matt Holiday and veteran John Smoltz. That should help them get over the top, along with their amazing 1-2 pitching combo. 

My first rounf predictions are as follows:

Philly over Colorado in 5

NYY over Minnesota in 4

Stl over LAD in 4

LAA over Boston in 5
