The Angels are the favorite, they have owned the Yankess under Mike Scioscia, but not for any good reason. They game plan and execute well, but dont have overwhelming pitching anymore. They added a n=minis in Kazmir who has clearly lost something; Fuentes has a great record but seems vulnerable as a breaking ball closer must be. Juan Rivera and Abreu are firmer Yankees for good reasons..Abreu replaced by a better all -arounf player- Teixera, and Rivera had a joib given to him and could not discourafge the signing of Damon. This Yankee team has dimensions: two strong starters, CC and AJ, a deep bullpen( Rivera, Hughes, Joba, Gaudin, Aceves, Robertson and Coke all going well). They can hold down a good offense for 9 innings. Power from 1-9 in the lineup, some speed and some talent(Jeter, Matsui, Cano, and Posada can flat out rake it!) Now the ARod &Teixera combo has come on...a 3-4 tandem that can wreck a defense with power hits. Look for one of them to have a monster game...2 HR, 5RBI stuff.
The Angels have winners, Scioscia is the most important, id he slumps they are cooked. Tori Hunter is the key, he is the power guy who can deliver in the clutch. Vlad is the big talent, once the best in the game...seems his back is limiting him now. Speed is their thing to upset pitching and defense, won't work this time unlike Boston, the Yankees don't have to fear being down three-four runs, they can correct those situations... Yankees in five.
