2004 Playoff Predictions

by Jessica Polko

American League Division Series
Boston at Anaheim: The Angels' bullpen may be able to shut down the Red Sox's offense, but Boston should be able to hurt Anaheim's starters. While pitching Wakefield probably will push the series to five games, Curt Schilling should propel them to the next round. Red Sox in 5.

Minnesota at New York: Although neither team possesses a reliable third starter, a double dose of the hottest pitcher in baseball should cool the Yankees' heels. Minnesota in 4.

American League Championship Series
Boston at Minnesota: The strength of the Red Sox's offense should be able to dent a tired Johan Santana, removing the Twins' ability to compensate for their lack of a solid number three.Boston in 6.

National League Division Series
L.A. at St. Louis: The pitching match-ups should keep this series close, however the Cardinals' bats give their starters an edge.St. Louis in 5.

Houston at Atlanta: Our predictions from here on out rest on an unstoppable Roger Clemens and a nearly perfect Roy Oswalt. Together the two should be able to off-set the disadvantages of losing every third start.Houston in 4.

National League Championship Series
Houston in St. Louis: Despite the Cardinals' strong offense, we expect Clemens and Oswalt to contain the St. Louis bats.Houston in 5.

World Series Forecast
Houston in Boston: Torturing Red Sox's fans is not the policy of this website, but our calculations have Roger Clemens taking Game 7 from Boston at Fenway.Houston in 7.

Although seeing the Red Sox win after their long dry spell would be satisfying, witnessing the Astros claim their first World Championship should be enjoyable.
