Solid defense would go to the Rays unless Minnesota makes it because they’re a top-notch defensive team first and foremost every year. Consistent pitching probably has to go either to the Rays or Angels just because bullpen and starting pitching have to be considered, and both those teams have a good balance. Timely hitting is pretty much every team that’s in the playoffs, every one of these times had to have timely hitting to win those games that put them over the top of other teams who were close in the standings, to this point each team has had their share of key hits in timely situations.
Rays have played well against all the teams in the playoffs, so they realistically have as good a shot as anyone, the only thing I’d count against them is experience, but that obviously doesn’t make a huge difference in some cases.
I am a Reds fan but rooting for the Rays in the playoffs so I go with them in all of the above. They are a feel good story this year.
on the defense i have to go with boston red sox, for consistent pitching i would go with tampa bay rays and for timely hitting i would go with the minnesota twins they are number in hitting with runners in scoring position.
solid defense – White Sox
consistent pitching – Rays
timely hitting – Twins
Tampa VS Anaheim in the ALCS and Rays will win in 6. Rays end up winning the World Series.
Solid defense LA Angels
Consistent pitching Tampa Bay Rays
Timely Hitting LA Angels
I like the Rays because they are young but they play like a team. I still have to go with the LA Angels to go to the World Series thou.
defence: boston
pitching: l.a.
hitting: minnesota. but they aren’t in it yet so if they don’t make it ill say boston
