NOTICE: I will be away all weekend watching the Yankees at my friends house and visiting grandparents. I will not be posting until at the earliest Sunday.

Here are some predictions for the ALCS:

-CC Sabathia starts three games
-A.J. Burnett emerges as a postseason ace
-Andy Pettite struggles
-Nick Swisher and Johnny Damon break out of their slumps
-Brett Gardner starts more games than Melky Cabrera
-Robinson Cano struggles
-Jose Molina catches at least two games in the series
-Joba Chamberlain assumes the 8th-inning role from Phil Hughes after Hughes blows a save in game 1 or 2.
-Alex Rodriguez continues his hot streak and so does Derek Jeter
-Freddy Guzman and/or Brett Gardner wins a game for the Yankees


OVER/UNDER

15 innings Pitched: CC Sabathia- over

Sabathia has been dominant all year, and so its no surprise that he has continued that in the post-season. After the All-Star break last year he was the best player in the National League for the Brewers.

Hopefully he doesn't get too tired though, as he did in last years postseason....i don't think he will. Thanks for reading
