American League Championship
versus 
Hmm. I was there at the start for the Angels, when they were an expansion team playing at the old Wrigley Field in LA in 1961, so there's a bit of a sentimental attachment to them. On the other hand, the Sox haven't been to a World Series since 1959 (when they got beat by the Dodgers in my first year in LA, thus beginning my long-term relationship with the Bums), and they haven't won a Series since 1917, two years before the Black Sox scandal.
The Angels' pitching rotation is in tatters with Washburn's illness and Colon's shoulder troubles, while the Sox have their top three starters well rested and ready.
Heart says Angels, head says Sox.
