2011 World Series Predictions

KT Division Series Record: 1-3 (Turrible)
KT Championship Series Record: 0-2 (Holler!)


2011 World Series

Texas Rangers Vs St. Louis Cardinals

The Cardinals are playing exactly like The Giants did last year when they won The World Series. They had a subpar season but managed to get the last playoff spot on the last day of the season, they have solid starting pitching and a deep bullpen, and their batting lineup has been scoring a ton of runs lately. The Rangers have picked up where they left off last year and have been out scoring everybody on their way back to The World Series, even without dominant pitching. Nelson Cruz has been a beast now that he's healthy and has been carrying this team throughout the playoffs. The Cardinals have a big edge though and his name is Albert Pujols, he is the best player in the league on offense and defense and has been on fire since he is healthy again. He is also in the final year of his contract and is set to be a free agent next year those are always some of the best years of a players career, he has been huge in the playoffs so far and will be hard for The Rangers pitchers to pitch around. He isn't the only threat in the lineup though, Matt Holliday has always been reliable throughout his career, he has been battling through injuries but has played well when needed, Lance Berkman signed as a free agent and has had an awesome season batting .301 with 31 home runs and 94 RBI's, and David Freese who ended up being the NLCS MVP out of all that talent in their lineup! Like I've been saying throughout the playoffs The Rangers not having a solid pitching staff is going to bite them in the ass at some point and The Cardinals have been playing some great baseball at the best time of the year to be doing so. And unlike The Rangers, The Cardinals have some good pitching from starters to bullpen.
