Championship Series Set
The Division Series are now over. When the Phillies came back to beat the Rockies, the fields were set for the Championship Series.
The Phillies and the Dodgers will meet this Thursday in Los Angeles. In a rematch of last year’s NLCS, the Dodgers will hope to redeem themselves. The Dodgers won the season series 4-3, so it should be a good series.
The Angels and the Yankees will face off on Friday in New York. Both teams have exorcised the ghosts of last year, when the Angels were swept in the ALDS by the Red Sox and the Yankees didn’t even make the postseason. The teams split the season series 5-5, so it looks like both Championship Series will be good matchups.
One further story to watch, the Angels and Dodgers have never meet in a World Series. And so you could have an all-Los Angeles series…providing that you agree that Anaheim and Orange County are part of L.A…like the owner of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim does.
