Congratulations to the RANGERS andthe GIANTS on reaching the World Series.
As corny as it may sound, my heart is with San Francisco, but I'm taking the Rangers to the bank. As good as the SF pitching is, starters, relievers and the closer, I think the Ranger bats are better.
I've stated before, I rarely bet on baseball but, I gotta feeling I may have a few extra geedas laying around for a wager or two during the series. I'd love to see the series go all seven games, but in reality, I'm thinking if it goes six games we'll be lucky.

Cliff Lee, LHP Postseason stats 3-0, 0.75 ERA
By finishing off the ALCS in six, the Rangers are able to use Lee in Game 1 of the World Series. The lefty ace has been magnificent in the postseason, having gone 7-0 with a 1.26 ERA in eight career playoff starts.
Tim Lincecum, RHP Postseason stats 2-1, 1.93 ERA
After dueling the Phillies' Roy Halladay to one win apiece in the NLCS -- and pitching in relief in the clinching Game 6 Lincecum will face another tough challenge in Game 1 of the World Series: Rangers left-hander Cliff Lee.
