IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY... October 2, 2010

The only change in the playoff match ups came from the weather. The Red Sox and Yankees were rained out and the Rays couldn't take advantage and lost ANOTHER to the Royals.

And the Twins couldn't take advantage and lost again themselves.
Am I the only one who has noticed that the American League pitching for the playoffs has been pretty lousy this week, save for Cliff Lee, David Price and CC Sabathia?

Good news for the fans of high scoring games this October.

And oh yeah, the idea of the the Padres staying alive is a lot more plausible with only two games left... I'm just saying. Let's look at the current match ups.

AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

NEW YORK YANKEES (AL East Champion)
has home field advantage over
TEXAS RANGERS (AL West Champion)


MINNESOTA TWINS (AL Central Champion)
has home field advantage over
TAMPA BAY RAYS (AL Wild Card)



NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (NL East Champion)
has home field advantage over
CINCINNATI REDS (NL Central Champion)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (NL West Champion)

has home field advantage over

ATLANTA BRAVES (NL Wild Card)

With only 2 games left, it wouldn't take a long losing streak to send the National League into a one game playoff situation. Just 2 losses in a row...

It could get interesting... maybe TOO interesting for Giants and Braves fans.
