Texas is putting on a show

Watching the Texas Rangers put a whopping on the New York Yankees in the past 2 games has been quite impressive. I personally thought it was going to be the Yankees bats which would ultimately win this series but they have been relatively none existent except for R.Cano who is batting over .400. From top to bottom the Rangers have a solid line up which is anchored by their 3-4-5 hitters. Hamilton is swinging the bat like he was prior to his injury at the end of the season. Guerrero is crushing everything he sees (and he swings at every pitch he sees). Finally Nelson Cruz is having a year to remember batting .333 in the post season. Oh and I almost forgot…. The Rangers have Cliff Lee and company who have been lights out for any line. If the Rangers can stay as hot as they are right now, I just can’t see they getting beat in any four game series.

MLB Playoffs prediction

Texas vs New York
New York Yankees in 6
The Yankees bats are going to end the Rangers season. If the Rangers could have beaten the Tampa Bay Rays in 4, they would have had a chance with Lee pitching twice in the series.

San Francisco vs. Philadelphia
Philadelphia in 6
Phills pitching and batting is going to be just too strong for the Giants. The season series was tied up at 3 wins apiece.

As much as I don’t want to see it, I think it is going to be a rematch of last year’s World Series between the Phillies and the Yankees.
