The other interesting thing about the ALCS, it is pretty much the World Series. That is, both teams are better than the two remaining NL teams and thus the winner of the ALCS should win the World Series pretty easily.
With that said, maybe I shouldn't count out the Nationals--I suppose Max Sherzer and Strasburg could pull a Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling (from 2001). I said during the regular season that the Nationals were the dark horse to win a championship this year.
