MLB League Championship Series

What's going to happen with these teams? I have no idea. Both series are quite even.

Cleveland is Boston's equal and no one is giving them a chance. So I'll go with the Indians. Plus, if they win it all, their drought of not having won since 1948 goes away and makes the Cubs look even more pathetic.

Colorado and Arizona are also close. Nate Silver on BP had an interesting post on their blog yesterday about how Arizona may be better than they think. The reason is that while their offense underperformed in the first five months of the season, since September 1 they have been on target for what was predicted before the season. With so many young players may now be shoing their true ability, it's possible that this is the real D-Backs team. That's what makes this matchup closer than at first glance. I'll go with them since they have a stud pitcher in Brandon Webb that the Rockies just can't match.
