Phillies - 200 vs. Brewers

The MLB season is officially over and the rough road to the Fall Classic is about to get underway with some pretty intriguing post season matchups. The division series that might be one of the best in recent memory will be the battle between a couple National League heavyweights in the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies.

This five game series should be one of the most entertaining this post season as both teams have seemed to hit their strides coming into the playoffs. Ryan Howard is playing like the MVP of old at the plate and CC Sabathia is at the top of his game as the Brewers ace on the mound.

Although the Brewers have gone through some changes at manager, which happen seemingly only a moment ago, the team is riding an emotional high after rallying to get into the post season on the shoulders of their best acquisition ever in Sabathia.

The Phillies will also be pumped up and ready to go in this division series against Milwaukee as they look to prove that they are as talented as their lineup suggests. The Brewers may have their superstar pitcher playing at a high level, but one could argue that no one has played better in September than Phillies own MVP hopeful Ryan Howard.

This series will be a close one and could quite possibly go the distance if both teams play up to their full potential. The Philadelphia Phillies should pull this one out as the Brewers' best players may be a little too fatigued to keep up with a rested Phillies squad, but if history has taught us anything, it is that any thing can happen in the playoffs.
