Who do you think will win it all? Rays or Phils?

I tried to post this with a poll. But it didn't work. Sorry about that.

Rays in 5 because of their bullpen. I think David Price will be a major factor...
Rays in 6. Starting pitching will be the difference.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
it's up to Brad Lidge
so I have no idea.
He has to be brimming with confidence after last night. I'm thinking Tampa has the edge, but I'd just like to see 7 well played games whoever wins.Originally Posted by *BaseClogger*

Exactly what I was going to say.
I agree. The Rays tough lefties (Kazmir, Price, Howell) will shutdown Utley and Howard while Upton/Longoria will combine to hit at least four more homers.
Rays in 6. Offense and defense will be the difference.
Phillies in 7. And Bud Selig's head explodes as the ratings come in.
Why? Philly's a very big market and Tampa Bay is a Cinderella story. A lot of people are sick of BOS too and are probably rooting for TB.
People may be sick of Boston but they watch them. Philly is a big market, but they don't have a national fan base like the Red Sox, Yankees or Cubs. And while TB is a cinderella story and many will root for them, baseball has lost the casual fan years ago (by its inane television policies for the World Series). So I predict very low ratings for this year's fall classic.
Tampa in seven. The lineup is more consistent top to bottom, and the starting pitching is much better. Cole Hamels and the Philly bullpen will give them a fighting shot, but in the end, Tampa pulls it out.
Just out of curiosity, what were the ratings last year? I would imagine this years will be lower than last years anyway.
The ratings will be low because for reasons I can't understand, unlike with football baseball fans just don't watch it when their team isn't in it. Regardless of the story lines.
That's why ESPN does 19 million Sox/Yankees games during the year, and Fox has the Dodgers or Angels on every Saturday.
Oh yeah - Phillies in 7 - and this will be one of the more entertaining World Series that we've had in years.
