rangers

yankees have a tough time hitting lefties and 4 of the 7 games at least will be pitched by Cliff Lee and CJ Wilson.

and in my opinion, the rangers have the better bats and the better bullpen, i dont trust anything from the yankees outside of rivera. rangers arent good either but better arms.

I am going with the Texas Rangers! I love their line up (Yes I know the Yanks have a potent attack too). I think Lee & Wilson are a shade better then Sabathia & Pettite. The bullpen I believe favours Texas, and this will be an exciting series and goes 6, if not 7 games.

I like Texas to have a real shot in this series and I think Lee will win his 2 games, but Yanks take game 1.

Texas hasn't done anything against CC, with a collective 3 hits in a combined 26 career ABs.

Some of the Yanks really hit Wilson pretty well, including 4 runs in 3 innings last meeting:

Lance Berkman .143
Robinson Canó .400
Francisco Cervelli .500
Derek Jeter .375
Austin Kearns .429
Álex Rodríguez .250
Nick Swisher .143
Marcus Thames .625
