In less than two weeks time, the MLB will be crowning the World Series Champion for the 2011 season. Four amazing teams remain, as the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers battle to win the American League pennant. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals are battling it out for the National League pennant. By all accounts, if we look at the bookie software odds, the right teams are leading each series, as Texas and St. Louis are considered the favorites to meet for the World Series. Today we will give you our picks for the World Series finalists.
Despite being down two games to one, look for the Detroit Tigers to bounce back and take the AL Championship away from the Texas Rangers. The Tigers never say die attitude, has allowed the team to come back and put up impressive numbers at different points this season. For instance, the Tigers trailed the Cleveland Indians by seven games for the AL sports betting Central title at the All Star Break, before coming back and winning the division by a remarkable 10 games. Then in the playoffs, the Tigers took on the New York Yankees and defeated them in five games, before coming back in last night against Texas. Detroit’s resiliency will be what helps them make it back to the World Series for the first time since 2006.
On the other hand, we believe that the Milwaukee Brewers will discover a way to win on the road, as they mount a comeback against divisional rivals the St. Louis Cardinals. Milwaukee is facing their first true test of adversity this season, as the Cardinals have tied the series at one game apiece. Milwaukee hasn’t gone to the World Series since 1982, and with Prince Fielder looking to make this his final year in Wisconsin, Milwaukee will send him out with a bang, by winning the World Series.
