World Series Predictions

Following up on my division breakdowns, I now how to finish my predictions with my playoff breakdown.

In the National League:
(NLDS)
St Louis Cardinals(#1) vs Atlanta Braves(WC)
Analysis: The Braves will have battled in NL East all season and will not be ready to give up this early in the playoffs. Although the Cardinals have a great setup for a 5 game series, in Wainwright and Carpenter, I feel that Braves' Hanson and Jurrjens are not far behind. Coming down to it, Derek Lowe will be the difference maker, and if he can pitch well in the playoffs, the Braves will be set.
Pick: Braves in 5

Philadelphia Phillies(#2) vs San Francisco Giants(#3)
Analysis: The Phillies are the most feared team in the National League, but can their pitching help them make another World Series appearance? Halladay clearly is an ace, but can Hamels and the rest of the starters/bullpen out duel Lincecum, Cain, and company?
Pick: Giants in 5

(ALDS)
New York Yankees(#1) vs Chicago White Sox(#3)
Analysis: The Yankees are often faced with the winner of the AL Central in the playoffs, and often they prevail. I see no reason why the Yankees wouldn't do the same this year, with a 3 man rotation of Sabathia, Burnett, and the experienced Pettite, the Yanks will cruise past the first round.
Pick: Yankees in 3

Seattle Mariners(#2) vs Tampa Bay Rays(WC)
Analysis: After seeing what Cliff Lee did in the playoffs for the Phillies last year, it is difficult to pick against the Mariners, especially in a short series. Don't forget they also have my AL Cy Young favorite in Felix Hernandez to likely make 2 starts in this series.
Pick: Mariners in 4

(NLDS)
San Francisco Giants vs Atlanta Braves
Analysis: This is where I believe the wheels finally fall off for the Braves. It is hard to advance far in the playoffs with stars that don't have much MLB experience (Heyward,Hanson). The Giants, behind their staff and the bats of Mark DeRosa and Pablo Sandoval will battle and reach their first World Series since Barry Bonds in 2002.
Pick: Giants in 6

(ALDS)
New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners
Analysis: I mentioned that the Yankees had a great rotation for a 5-game-series, but they just so happen to have a great rotation for a 7-game-series as well, as now Javier Vasquez would be thrown into the mix. Jeter, A-Rod, and the gang will step up and lead this team to another World Series appearance.
Pick: Yankees in 5

(World Series)
San Francisco Giants vs New York Yankees
Analysis: The Giants would have been riding their aces through this point, but against the Yankees offense, runs will need to be produced by the Giant offense. In the end, the Yankees have too many future Hall of Famers in the lineup to allow the Giants to steal the World Series. The monkey is now off A-Rod's back and he'll deliver again.
Pick:Yankees in 6
