First round Forecast

With the MLB playoffs approaching it's time for the Great Guru (formerly known as the Sports Schwab) to make another forecast, so here goes...

I think the Angels can continue to play some inspired ball and take down the Boston Red Sox (sorry, Beantown, but you've gotta lose sometimes).

As much as I like the Twins and hope that they can pull off the upset, I just don't see them measuring up to the juggernaut that the Yankees have assembled.

The Dodgers are a great team, but something tells me that the Cardinals' pitching will probably be too much for them to handle.

Perhaps my toughes forecast is that of the Rockies/Phillies matchup. On one hand, the Phillies aren't really as great as their record suggests, and there's also the feared World Series hangover. But then again, the Rockies aren't too talented either. I was actually quite surprised to see them emerge as a wild card. After much debating I finally decided to go with the Rockies simpley because I had yet to pick an upset for the round.

Follow the Great Guru all through the football season with his pick of the week, every week!
