Hard to argue with the Cardinals and Yankees as the favorites, but they shouldn’t look past the Phillies or Red Sox, respectively. If the Phillies match up very well against the Cardinals as long as they can clean up the confusion in their bullpen, and the Red Sox have a definite edge in pitching over the Yankees.
Good analysis.
As a Cardinals fan I can honestly say I would rather eat barbed wire than have to play a series against the Phillies. Let the Dodgers deal with them.
