World Series Set

The Texas Rangers are headed to the World Series for the first time in franchise history after defeating the defending champion New York Yankees 6-1 on Friday night in Arlington to win the ALCS four games to two. They will be joined by the San Francisco Giants who stunned the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 last night in Philadelphia to win the NLCS four games to two.

The Giants are making their first appearance in the World Series since 2002 when they lost in seven games to the then-Anaheim Angels. The Giants have not won a World Series since 1954, when they were still in New York.

That all said, as a Dodger fan living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I think it's pretty obvious who I'm rooting for: Go Rangers!

My prediction: Rangers in six. I can't see the Giants beating Cliff Lee the way he's pitching.

Game one is Wednesday night in San Francisco.
