The regular season is coming to a close and the playoff
picture is almost set. However, the question on many individuals’ minds is who
will take it all this season. Which team will be the one at the pinnacle of the
mountain when it is all said and done? Some teams have shown what they can do,
and others like the Nationals have fallen from the top spot. The question is
now, who can hold on long enough to get into the playoffs and get hot. There
are several possible teams but two teams stand out to me as the possible World
Series contenders when it is all said and done.
Blue Jays
I don’t think there
has been a better team or a more fun team to watch since the MLB Trade
Deadline. With additions such as Troy Tulowitzki and David Price, this team now
officially looks like the team to beat in the AL East. The New York Yankees
have slowly lost their 1st place standing and the Blue Jays
currently lead the division. There is no surprise regarding the success of the
Blue Jays offense. But what is shocking has been how well their pitching has
kept it together. If the Blue Jays can keep their pitching strong and their
bats alive, there is no doubt in my mind that we will see them in the World
Series.
Pirates
I believe that this will be the season that will shock the
world. I think the Pirates are finally putting everything together to not only
reach the Post Season, but the finally play in that World Series game that they
have hoped for. The Pirates have had the bats all season, and the great pitching
of Cole. It has not helped the Pirates playing in one of the toughest divisions
in baseball, but this team has truly kept it together. They have beat every
team that has stood in their way so far, and have the goal of winning it all. I
truly think that if the Pirates can keep all the cogs in motion they will be
World Series contenders.
Though there are several unbelievable teams such as the
Cardinals and Royals, who have dominated their divisions. I do not think they
will be able to keep it going in the long run. What my hope is that we get to
see competitive playoff baseball. Nothing is more fun to watch then a no name
player take center stage in their biggest moment of their career! So enjoy the
playoffs!
