So I'm hoping for a Phillies - Rangers World Series. 

Dodgers - Blue Jays would be my worst case scenario.  

Three teams have never won a World Series:  Brewers, Rangers, and Rays.

The three most recent W. S. winners are still alive:  Astros, Braves, and Dodgers.

Three teams that Dave Stewart played for are in the mix, as are five of Kenny Lofton's teams.

  1. The Braves are mighty tough. I like your Phillies too. LA'S pitching is suspect.
