Can the Rays come back and win a best of 5 series after losing the first two games at home? They look well on their way to do so on Tuesday after they won two games in Texas and have their ace 19 game winner David Price on the mound. However, they will also have to face a very tough pitcher on the other end in Cliff Lee. They also have to prove they can beat the Rangers at home. I don't think they can do it. They have to shut down a very potent Rangers offense and score off Cliff Lee. Doing one of those things is hard enough, let alone both. Look for a Yankees/ Rangers ALCS.

The Braves have way too many injuries to compete for a World Series. They are missing Martin Prado and Chipper Jones, two of their better hitters. It was also seen last night when Brooks Conrad, Prado's replacement, let a ground ball roll through his legs. A blunder that lost them the game. They still have the arms and fire power to get past the Giants, but they don't to get past the Phillies. Look for the Phillies to represent the NL in the World Series for a third straight season.

The AFC South looks tight this year, as all four teams are tied at 3-2. Considered one of the better divisions in the league, they don't seem to have a definite team thats the best. The Colts were suppose to be that team, but they have lost two key divisional games, to teams they seem to beat when things are going well. The other teams in that division have also shown similar inconsistency, as every team wins some big games, then loses some. Keep in mind the Titans are yet to play a game within their division, and Colts have lost both their divisional games.
