Predictions: World Series

Well, not a bad LCS round for me - I had Colorado in 5 and Boston in 7. I was off by one game total - I'll take that!

Colorado Rockies vs. Boston Red Sox

The first question that will need to be answered is, of course, whether or not the Rockies will be able to sustain the momentum of only losing one of their last 22 games. Beyond that, this could very well be a slugfest of a series. The middle of Colorado's order, anchored by likely MVP Matt Holliday, is ferocious; on the other side, JD Drew has been on fire to compliment the middle of the Red Sox order, including ol' faithfuls Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. The winner of this series will be decided by the pitching. I have to give the bullpen edge to Colorado; however, Boston's starters are more experienced. I think the layoff will have the Rockies' pitching rested and rearing to go - if the hitters can stay on their game, they'll give Boston a handful. Ultimately, I'm taking Colorado in 6.
