Play from 0:00[0:00]" While the Major League Baseball playoffs are here that means it's time for me to make -- fearless predictions predictions that could change at a moments notice. Anyway has a look at the Red Sox Angels series that don't have a good feeling about this for the road -- The Angels were the only team in Major League Baseball when 100 games this season 162 they -- the best record all baseball. The Sox and Angels played each other nine times in the regular season. The first game in April at Fenway one by the Sox seven to six. After that it was all downhill the Angels beat up on the Red Sox in the other eight games they played all scoring the short 55 to 29 in those eight wins. The Sox top three starters in this series Lester Daisuke and bucket. Combined oh and three against the Angels Phillies top three Lackey Saunders and Santana but combined for at all. Only two Red Sox hitters Pedroia and Ortiz over 300 against the Angels the next best Kevin Youkilis at 241. Meanwhile five Angels -- over 300 against the Red Sox. Figgins a bar -- Anderson and Matthews talks closer Jonathan Papelbon is terrific. So -- is Angel closer Francisco Rodriguez who had a record 62 saves this season. Well obviously hoping and rooting for the Red Sox to win the the Angels are simply a better and healthier team right now. The other series Tampa bay had a terrific year. The White Sox pitching was clutch down the stretch when they had to be on the have been there before. This is Tampa Bay's first ever appearance in the post season so I think the ALCS is going to battle Angels and White Sox. National League the Cubs are good and I'm rooting for them and their long -- supporting fans have suffered for years. The other series I think the Phillies will be Milwaukee. All of that's out. A reserve the right to change my mind and Anita. I'm don't say those WBZ sports."
