Who will win it all? Our MLB staff make their World Series predictions.
Mea culpa. isn’t the only person wearing egg on their face after the Arizona Diamondbacks’ stunning upset of the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship Series. The Diamondbacks didn’t receive one vote from our experts in , and they haven’t been the favorite in any series thus far in the postseason. It’s a cliche for champions to claim that no one believed in them, but in the case of the NL pennant winners, it’s a truism.
That said, Arizona got its running game going late in the NLCS and while is an elite defensive catcher, speed still kills. I think this will be a very tight series and an extra base or two in the late innings could turn the tide. Grant Brisbee : I was absolutely convinced the would never win a World Series in my lifetime. The Giants had a litany of woulda-coulda-shouldas that they couldn’t escape. Candy’s slide. José Cruz Jr.’s muffed catch. Felix vs. Spiezio.
