CLEVELAND, Ohio – The 2005 Chicago White Sox are the only team from the AL Central to win a World Series championship. Former manager Ozzie Guillen and the four horses he rode to that title – Jose Contreras, Freddy Garcia, Jon Garland and Mark Buehrle – better make room in the Central's trophy case because they're about to get company.
The Kansas City Royals will beat the New York Mets in the 111th running of the World Series. Game 1 starts Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium.
My two picks in the league championship series were the Royals and Mets.
