Philadelphia Phillies

The most potent offense in the post-season, this team relies heavily on the homerun, with strong power hitters Howard, Burrel, Werth, Utley and Rollins. Their pitching is under-rated by most.

Tampa Bay Rays

The upstart franchise features one of baseball's lowest payrolls and is full of home grown talent. With the current contract set-up this team should be near the top of the AL East for the next three seasons before having to drop payroll. They hold the best regular season record of any team left in the 2008 MLB playoffs.
