Who Will Win the World Series?
by 
The World Series begins on Wednesday with the Philadelphia Phillies taking on the the Tampa Bay Rays. Homefield advantage once again goes to the AL team. Few would’ve predicted this pairing before the season.
This is a pretty intriguing match-up and it’s nice to have two teams that haven’t been there in a while (or ever in the case of the Rays) playing for the championship. I’ll be in Vegas through games 3-5 so I’m looking forward to taking it all in from the comfort of a sportsbook. The Rays are the favorite to win the series with 4-2 being the favored outcome.
So who do you think will win the World Series? Vote in the poll and leave your thoughts in the comments.
World Series Winner?

I have an actual job, this is still very much considered a side thing for me. I’m going to Vegas just as a normal vacation…though I’ll still update the site each day I’m there.

Who would have thought that so many ppl would be behind the Rays to win the World Series. Sure, a few years ago I started paying attention to them and said they would be pretty damn good in a few years. But, this exceeded even my expectations.

Everybody loves an underdog. Going up against the Yankees and Red Sox in that division its pretty natural for people to rally around them.

I think the Phillies will win because they deservere a championship damn You Joe Carter Damn you to hell and it would be the first major champhionship in pHilly since the 76ers in the 80s. so it would be nice to see Philly win it.

Now that the Red Sox are out I couldn’t care less, but I would like to see the Phillies sweep that team.

What are you talking about??? The city of Tampa wasn’t even behind them until they reached the playoffs. What did they average, 8,000 fans per game? That’s a joke. At least Philly has real fans and not 37,000 fake ones…where were all the Tampa fans during the regualr season? Oh, that’s right, not caring about “their team”. It would be a shame if a city like that got to celebrate a World Series title.

PAsta serious q. Whats your real job? And how did you get started linto this?
October 21, 2008 at 6:20 am
as much as it pains me to say this I think it will be Rays win in 6.
see B-more if the rays can do it then we need to. lol!!

Tampa has done it the right way by building their farm system. That is how the Tigers have recovered and why the Braves were successful for nearly two decades.
This is why the Yankees can’t win with their high-priced roster. Yes, it is talented but when you have a solid farm system these guys grow up together and unity is formed.
This is why I think the Tigers sucked this year…Too many high-priced players and no unity. Oh, and no bullpen.
This will be one of the best Series in the past few years and one that will have interest with the upstart Rays (which I am sure MLB is loving since the rating should be through the roof).
I think the Rays, if their bullpen doesn’t struggle, will win in six. If the Phils can get to the Rays’ starters the Phils have a chance…
Go Tigers!!
