2011's One Key Question to Decide the World Series

Okay, actuallly two questions. But they're so interrelated, they should count as one as the Cardinals (probably the least strong of the NL playoff teams) take on the Rangers (probably the stromgest of the AL playoff teams) in this year's Fall classic.

  1. Which team has the least horrible starting pitching?
  2. Which team has the better bullpen?

Let's give the Cardinals the edge in rotation ace and the Rangers the edge in closer. What say you all, noble Bauxites, about the other moundsmen of WS'11?

There are other matchups worth considering ...

But overall -- and all of this is just to start the conversation and off the top of my head, so correct me, argue a point or a conclusion , a misconception -- overall, let's say Rangers in six. Your MVP is of the Series is Ian Kinsler, No  Ranger starter gets into the seventh inning, but only one Cardinal starter even makes it past the fifth.

Get here, Wednesday! Let's play ball!
