2011 ALCS & NLCS Predictions

KT Division Series Record: 1-3 (turrible)


MLB 2011 ALCS & NLCS Predictions


ALCS

Detroit Tigers Vs Texas Rangers

This is going to be a fun matchup to watch, both of these teams are pretty much the same. They have strong batting lineups that can score a ton of points, but the funny thing is during the regular season they didn't score much on eachother. The Tigers pretty much owned The Rangers this season, they went 6-3 in the season series, they took the series all three times they faced eachother and it's because their pitching is slightly better. Justin Verlander leads the pitching staff and has had a great season so far, Max Scherzer has come out of nowhere and had a good season, and the bullpen has dominated all year and they played a huge role in why they beat The Yankees in the division series. Eventually The Rangers mediocre pitching is going to catch up to them and I think The Tigers will take care of them and move onto The World Series.

NLCS

St. Louis Cardinals Vs Milwaukee Brewers

These teams have been battling it out all season long, their season record against eachother is 9-9 so this should be a hard fought series to the end. They have been at eachother not only on the field but these two teams really hate eachother, everytime they play eachother something happens. The Cardinals have been a team on fire for the last month and a half and are finally playing the way they expected to at the start, but injuries took a toll on them throughout most of the season. Their pitching staff has finally got it together as well, Carpenter started off slow but is back to his old form, they traded for Edwin Jackson in the middle of the season has been playing very well ever since, and the bullpen has been holding it down for them when they need them. The Brewers have remained consistent all season long, strong pitching with a great batting lineup. They not only have power hitters who can knock the ball out of the park, but also guys who can get on base and steal bases. They play smart baseball and they will really need it in this series. I haven't been too sure about The Brewers this year, but Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun have been playing some of the best baseball in their careers and I think they will get to The Cardinals pitching. The Brewers have been playing team ball all season and I think they actually believe in eachother and those are usually the teams that win it all.
