I think the best opening series is the Yankees/Twins. And then a matchup with the Rays... I think the Yankees have the toughest road to the WS, so I'm not betting on them.
The Braves/Giants should be pretty good, but I think homefield wins it for the Giants.
The Reds are pretty scrappy, and I think they might be able to scratch out a win, but I think they are just overmatched. The Phillies have done a good job at saving their best baseball for down the stretch. Unless they just go cold (I don't see it happening), I think they will be a tough out in the WS.
If only the Braves could make it to the WS and have homefield advantage! Then I might feel confident!
