World Series Prediction

Isn't this the match up we all anticipated for Texas Rangers vs St Louis Cardinals?? Well not quite, but this is a very good matchup. The Cardinals come in playing exceptional since the beginning of September and they shocked the world by winning the wild card while being 10 plus games out. Then in the 1st round they played the vaunted Phillies and what did they do? They beat the "Dream Team" and the prohibited favorites to win the World Series. Then they played the up and coming Brewers who just weren't experience enough to stop the Veteran lineup and pitching of the Cardinals. There bullpen has been one word DOMINATING. With Salas, the old man Rhodes and the flame throwing Jason Motte they have carried this squad to the fall classic. O yea they have Albert freaking Pujols the best hitter in baseball. He's batting 446 with 2 homerun's and 9 RBIs the dude is just amazing and will be key in winning this World Series for the Cardinals. Now the AL champion Texas Rangers are back in the fall classic for the second straight year and are looking to redeem themselves after losing in 6 to the Giants last year. The key for them to win this series is they need there pitching staff to step it up. They didn't have one quality start (6 innings 3 or less runs) in the ALCS vs the Tigers and with Berkman, Pujols and Holliday in the middle of that lineup consistent pitching will be key. They also need last years AL MVP to get it cranking at the plate. Josh Hamilton has struggled this postseason with 290 avg and no homeruns, but someone who isn't struggling is Nelson Cruz wow what a ALCS this man had. Cruz went 8 for 22 (.364) in the ALCS with 6 homeruns and 13 RBI's both records. He has been great these playoffs but they'll need Kinsler, Andrus and Young to step and need a big game 1 start from the struggling C.J Wilson. This is a very intruguing matchup but i see the Cardinals winning the World Series in 6 and Pujols winning World Series MVP.
