Mets 7 – Phillies 3

Its almost time October baseball and all the action that comes with the most exciting time in all of sports. The quest for the World Series is like nothing else, when each and every pitch has incredible ramifications. There are some really good teams in the playoffs this year, with the past two World Series winners the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies in the post-season once again. Each year MLB tickets @ TL get more and more popular, but this year the action is out of control! The Yankees and Phillies have two of the most dedicated fans in the sporting world, and with both fans eager to see their team take the first World Series of the new decade. Baseball tickets are hot sellers throughout the summer, but the intensity for demand really heats up when the post-season gets here. Careers are made or destroyed in October baseball, and who knows what timeless moments will happen during the 2010 playoffs? Get your tickets ready soon so you can see the historic moments live and in person. So, with the MLB playoffs ready to start on, Wednesday, October 6, here’s a look ahead at the 2010 playoff teams.

MLB playoff outlook

New York Yankees

It should come as no surprise that the New York Yankees are again in the playoffs, but while last year they entered the post-season looking almost invincible, this year there are a few chinks in their armor. They can’t wait to get Yankee playoff tickets this year all over again. But that hasn’t really affected sales of Yankees playoff tickets at all! Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada are all a year older, and all have struggled at times throughout the season. But the “core four” aren’t nearly the issue as the Yankees starting rotation is. Staff ace CC Sabathia won 20 games and has been electric all, but he is just one man. At some point, Pettitte, AJ Burnett, Javier Vazquez, Phil Hughes, or Joba Chamberlain will need to win a game. They definitely have the talents to get back to selling Yankees World Series tickets, but we’ll see they look after the ALDS plays out. And lets not forget about the rest of the American League playoff picture.

Aiming to get back to the World Series for the third year in a row, Phillie playoff ticket is the hot item in Philly right now. Should the Phils get back to the Fall Classic, they would become the first team since WWII to get to the World Series three years in a row. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and the rest of the Phillies have been here before and know what it takes to win in October. The Phillies also arguably the best post-season starting rotation not just in the NL, but in MLB as a whole. I mean Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels? That is incredible! They have the hitting and the pitching, and Charlie Manuel has what it takes to win playoff games. Should they go ahead and sell those NLCS playoff tickets the Phils will be in great shape. The Phillies are going to be a really good team this post-season, and with home field advantage throughout, the Phillies should be great for fans. They are on pace to finish five whole games against the rest of the NL playoff spots, so clearly the Phillies would be the favorite to win the whole thing.
