The
Red Sox will do what they couldn’t in 2011, get to the postseason. The

to The World Series.
American League Division Series: Texas vs. Los Angeles (Los Angeles 3-1)
The
old format for The Divisional Round is gone allowing opponents from the
same division to square-off. The Angels pitching staff is too deep for
the mighty bats of Texas.
New York vs. Detroit (New York 3-2)

Bronx Bombers could not close the deal last season against The Tigers
in The ALDS, but this season The Yankees have added more depth to the
starting rotation giving them the slight edge in this competitive
series.

Phillies pitching staff will really key on keeping The Dodger hitters in front of Matt Kemp off base.
St. Louis vs. San Francisco (San Francisco 3-2)
In a hard fought series that could go either way, The Giants barely find a way to finish off a pesky Cardinal team.
National League Championship Series: San Francisco vs. Philadelphia (San Francisco 4-2)

two teams clashed in The LCS in 2010 with The Giants shocking The

dominant pitching.

The Giants shocked the baseball world when they won it all in 2010 and they will do it again in 2012.
