We Live for This! The playoffs are here. We have some very interesting matchups here in the first round.

National League

Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
The series most near and dear to my heart. The DBacks have Brandon Webb, and not much else. The Cubs have the deepest bullpen and bench in the NL. Cubs in 3.

Colorado Rockies vs. Philadelphia Phillies
The hottest teams entering the playoffs. The Rockies fought from way back to get in, and the Phillies overtook a floundering Mets team. Tough to call, I think that the Rockies have spent too much energy to move on. Phillies in 4.

American League

Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles vs. Boston Red Sox
This is the marquee matchup. If the Angels bats can work some magic, they can hang with the Red Sox. I don’t think they will. Red Sox in 4.

New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Indians
I have not been a believer in the Yankees all year. I’m not going to start now. Indians win this in 5.
