Sixth Post

I read an article about the World Series. It was written in the Washington Post by Dave Sheinin. It was about how the American League is sooo much better than the National League, "it's rediculous." He also predicted that the Tampa Bay Rays will beat the Philidelphia Philles in four games, which is a sweep. He pointed out that if you look at the interleague play this year, the American League teams are ahead, 149 to 103. That is a .591 reccord, which would have gotten a team a playoff birth in pretty much every division except three. And in those three they would have clinched a wild card. He also explained that even though the Phillies have good players, like Ryan Howard and Cole Hamels. However, He believes that all the Rays have to do is to have their starter pitch well, and then they can pitch around Howard. Also, if they Rays can win game one, in which they play Cole Hamels (3-0, 1.23 ERA in playoffs), they can destroy the Phillies. And though Cole Hamels is very good, he’s been pitching against the National League, so it doesn’t say much.
