ALDS Preview: We Will See Red Sox-Yankees IV in the ALCS
Posted: 7th October 2009 by Andrew Zercie in MLB
The Yankees are back in the playoffs after finishing third in the AL East last season. The hottest team in baseball may be the Minnesota Twins, winners of 17 of their last 21, including an extra game in extra innings. Do they have enough talent to match their momentum?
The Red Sox seek their third World Series title in six seasons, but can they get past the Angels, who are talented ...
There are many storylines as the postseason begins, the most obvious being the Philadelphia PhilliesÆquest to repeat.
With apologies to the other sports, thereÆs nothing better than the baseball postseason. Here is a quick look at each National League Division Series with some predictions.

St. Louis vs. Los Angeles
Are the CardinalsÆstars (Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Albert Pujols, Matt Holiday) enough to take them all the way? Can the Dodgers play ...

My picks this past week were much better, as I wound up 9-5 against the spread, pushing the overall record to 37-25 on the season. ItÆs always good to bounce back with a solid week of picks after having a ...
I was disappointed with how last week went. However, itÆs a new week, and itÆs time to provide some picks for folks looking for help with the office pool. Hopefully, for your sake and mine, my picks are more accurate this week.

Here now are the week four picks, ...
Welcome toáThe Ledger. I didnÆt have a stellar showing in week three, but I am not afraid to acknowledgeámy mistakes when I make them. This week, there were plenty of mistakes to look back on, so without further adoÃÂ

Jets 24, Titans 17 (Tennessee, +2.5)
At some point, ôgoodö teams win games, and IÆm beginning to wonder if the Titans are a ôgoodö team. Tennessee committed four ...
Week Three is where things start to get interesting. Some of the 2-0 teams will be exposed as frauds, while teams that are 0-2 now may already be playing the most important game of their seasons.
Also, in the minds of the players, coaches, and fans that follow teams, thereÆs a huge difference between 2-1 and 1-2. ThereÆs a lot of season left, yet this week may tell a lot about ...
After a decent start to the season, week two proved to be a bonanza, if one were to use my picks, which were here:

This week’s Ledger will feature mucho self back-patting and kudos, and very little poking fun at awful picks.
That’s the beauty of a 12-4 week.
