World Series

Philadelphia over Texas

 

Yep, the Eagles and Phillies in the same year.        But I couldn't pick the Dodgers, there's something too easy about it.  

Steve Cohen will freak out after not winning the Series in 2025 or 2026 and offer 60 million a year to Tarik Skubal.  

I really think the American League is a toss up between about 8 teams.  An injury here, a surprise story there.    Every race goes down the last weekend, except the NL West.
