WOW!!!  Is there any team hotter than the Colorado Rockies right now?  In any sport?  After last nights 5-1 win, Im convinced they will be the NL representative in the World Series this year.  If recent history shows us anything, its that if a team gets hot at the right time (ie. playoffs) they can roll right through everyone on their way to a world championship.  Just look at the last few World Series champs, last years Cardinals, the White Sox in 2005, and the Red Sox in 2004 all got hot at the right time.  None of those teams SHOULD have won the title.  But they did, and that makes me scared to death of the Rockies.

Well back again for another installment of my MLB playoff predictions, so without further ado, MY PICKS

NLCS - Rockies vs Diamondbacks

Winner - Diamondbacks in 6

The Rockies wild ride comes to an end, albeit a slow ending. I think the Diamondbacks pitching is to strong, and as a team, I feel this is a team that can win it all. The Rockies do come in the hottest team in baseball, but I think the Diamonbacks are too good to be swept up in it

ALCS - Red Sox vs Indians

Winner - Red Sox in 5 (no not because I am homer)

I think the Sox depth at pitching will win them the series. I don’t think Westbrook can beat the Sox, and I don’t think Carmona can either. Sabbitha is a beast, both as a pitcher, and a man, but the Sox have Josh Beckett, who seems to love pitching in the Playoffs, which will cancel out the Sabbitha issue. I also think the Red Sox can hit better than any other team left in the playoffs, so yeah, this one won’t be very close.

Next Week, we will have my World Series Predictions.

I’m in class so here’s a brief prediction of this years first round of MLB playoffs.

Yankees over Indians in 3 - Yanks swept the regular season series, so why would the post-season be any different.

Red Sox over the Angels in 5 - Didn’t this happen in 2004?

Cubs over Arizona in 5 - Bartman cant ruin it this time

Phillies over Colorado in 5 - Baseballs 2 hottest teams clash, somebody has to lose.

Well you have had time to soak up my AL Divisonal Series picks, now its time for the National League side of things.

Cubs v Diamondbacks Winner: Diamondbacks in 4
