MLB Baseball Tickets
MLB Baseball tickets still hold the top place in the hearts of sports fans everywhere. No game combines speed, grace, and savvy like Major League Baseball. Within the game of baseball you’ll find every facet of skill, from brute strength to lightning quickness, to the sharpest minds in the business when it comes to strategy. No other sport combines all these like the drama of a duel between the pitcher and the hitter. When it’s all said and done, MLB Baseball tickets bring it together like no other sports ticket on the market.
Major League Baseball is also the most competitive of sports. You won’t find one team dominating year after year anymore. There have been seven different teams crowned World Series Champions in the last seven years. Who will take the Series in 2007? We don’t know, but here are a few teams to watch out for when October rolls around.
American League
New York Yankees
The Yankees have been out of the World Series so long it’s almost inevitable they get back to the big one. While pitching is still an unknown, the power in the Yankees lineup is enough to power them to a World Series all by itself.
Minnesota Twins
The Twins look ready to repeat their Central Division Championship. Johan Santana has two Cy Young Awards under his belt and should break the 20 game plateau in 2007. Young hitters like Michael Cuddyer and Joe Mauer will lead a potent Twins offense.
Detroit Tigers
The Detroit Tigers pitched their way into the playoffs last year and in 2007 they’ve added Gary Sheffield to boost their offensive output. Jim Leyland will be looking to get better overall production across the board rather than rely on the big hit. The pitching staff is young and prime, and will be the backbone of the team again this season.
National League
New York Mets
The other team from the Big Apple dominated the AL East last year with 97 wins. Mets fever is running high in 2007 and with good reason. A solid and balanced lineup, a good strong pitching staff, and a manager that can work it all into one package in Willie Randolph.
St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals edged out the Astros to capture the AL Central in 2006. Albert Pujols leads the offense and the healthy return of Jim Edmonds could go a long way in adding depth. You’ll also see the Cards work the bullpen more (and better) than any other team in the National League.
Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia can boast of what may be the deepest pitching rotation in the National League. Freddy Garcia (17-9), Brett Meyers ( 12-7), and Cole Hamel (9-8), are the top three and of course there’s Tom Gordon as the closer. There’s also Ryan Howard anchoring the lineup. It all adds up to a shot at the postseason and a fantastic contest against the Mets for division dominance.
The MLB in 2007
In the end, it will all play out on the field. But the surge in free agent signings and ability to put together a team quickly adds up to more excitement for MLB Baseball ticket holders. Nobody can really be counted out before the season starts. Every team in the Major league has a shot at being the Detroit Tigers of 2007. Where will you be in the 7th inning stretch?
