The journey to the fall classic starts Wed. The AL teams have been decided and they are the MIN Twins, TEX Rangers, NY Yankees and TB Rays. The NL gets a little interesting. PHI Phillies and CIN Reds are in. Then there are 2 spots left and 3 teams all right there. If SF Giants beat SD Padres today the Giants win the west. If the Padres win they will tie SF for West and have a 1 game playoff. Now is when it gets tricky, the ATL Braves play the Phillies today and if they win and the Padres lose the Braves win the wild card. If the Braves lose and the Padres lose there will be a 1 game playoff between the teams for the wild card. If the Padres beat the Giants and the Braves beat the Phillies there will be a 1 game playoff between the Giants and Padres for the west and then the loser will have to play the Braves the next day to decide who gets the wild card. I'm not even going to get into potential first round match-ups, it might confuse you.
I got the Twins to win it all, any takers?
Oh, and the NHL regular season starts Thursday!
Call me crazy... it's not going to be Detroit or Pittsburgh, Washington or even New Jersey. You heard it hear, LA Kings will win their first Stanley Cup.
