Now that yesterday's final games of the MLB season have been completed (and what a wild one it was yesterday), it's time for the playoffs to begin.
Here are the matchups:
ALDS
#1:New York Yankees vs #3: Detroit Tigers
#2: Texas Rangers vs Wild card: Tampa Bay Rays
NLDS
#1: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Wild Card: St. Louis Cardinals
#2: Milwaukee Brewers vs. #3: Arizona Diamondbacks
Who do you want to win?
For me, this is a tough one but I feel Philadelphia will win it all. I think they have strong pitching staff and they won the most games in all of baseball this season.

I'm a lifetime Yankees fan, so I hope they win (and I'll be at the Yankee Stadium ALDS games, likely ALCS and WS, if they go that far), and I think they can beat Detroit in 4.
That said, I agree with Andy- based on the Phils' pitching, I see them winning their 3rd WS this year.

I hope the Rangers actually win the whole shebang this time. They were so close last year--winning the first game of the World Series, only to lose the next 4 to the San Francisco Giants.

Results for 10/04
Rangers defeat RAYS 4-3 thanks to Adrian Beltre's three home runs. They will be moving on to the ALCS (They win the series 3-1). And gameshowguy2000's hope is still alive.

Yankees are going all the way in the series as they thrash the TIGERS 10-1 (Series tied 2-2). Their big inning came in the top of the 8th.
Brewers fail to sweep the series as they lose miserably to the D-BACKS 8-1. In the 5th was a grand slam by Paul Goldschmit. (Brewers lead 2-1).

10/7 Results - Who finally wins the NLDS?
BREWERS defeat the D-Backs in extra innings (10th) w/ a final score of 3-2
Cardinals only score 1 run in the 1st but that was all they needed to beat the PHILLIES.
Now the Division series is over, here are the matchups for the Championship Series (Best of 7)...
ALCS: Tigers vs. Rangers
NLCS: Cardinals vs. Brewers
My bet of the Phillies is gone but if I were to guess who would make it to the World Series, it would be Brewers and Rangers. What about you guys?

Don't count on it. No two expansion teams have ever been to the world series. So expect at least the Tigers or Cardinals to win.

One more Rangers win, and we head back to the World Series for the 2nd year in a row--and hopefully win it this time.
