It’s going, going, going and gone! Several baseball announcers have said it this year and they are going to continue this, because playoffs are underway and the World Series is around the corner. There are a total of 8 teams and they include, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds, San Francisco Giants, Washington Nationals and Sait Louis Cardinals.
These 8 teams are the best of out of the other 30, but only one can win. The first game of the World Series is on October 24.It is a 7-game series and whoever wins four, wins it all! The World Series will be hosted at which ever 2 teams make it. Games one and two will be played at the winner of the National League. Games three, four, and five will be played at the winner of the American League. Then for the last two games, games six and seven, they will be played at the winner of the National League again. Nobody knows for sure who is going to be in the World Series, but Jayson Stark, a baseball reporter for ESPN says,”All these teams look good, but the Reds have the best chance of winning”.
Stan McNeal is a reporter for sporting news baseball, he says, “I will choose the Tigers”.
Most of the reporters for ESPN, AOL, Yahoo, etc. have all said, “Most of these games should end on the 6th game, none of these should go seven.
Without a doubt this year’s playoffs are going to be the best in years. There are good teams and they have been matched up with good and equal opponents.
