Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros
Astros in 7 (1, 3, 5, 7)
I don't know which round the Rangers will lose, but at some point, whether this round, or the World Series, I think their pitching will hurt them. I do think it's going 7.
MVP: Verlander, although Altuve has been quiet, so maybe it's his turn.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Arizona in 7 (1, 2, 5, 7)
The best thing the Diamondbacks have is that they are unpredictable. Any of their players seem capable of stepping up.
I want to make a bold pick, so I'll go with Arizona. Their pitching is a concern, though.
MVP: Almost went with Tommy Pham, but I'll go with Corbin Carroll. BTW whoever wins MVP in any of these series, I hope it's also because of a great defensive play.
