National League Championship

astros-va.jpg versus cardinals-va.jpg

This one's tougher. I've liked the Cardinals for years, and the Astros were always tough competitors for the Dodgers back in the two-division days of the National League. There was even a hard-fought playoff series between the two teams in 1981.

But...

The Astros have never been to the World Series, and they have Clements, Pettite and Oswalt as starters. All due respect to the Cardinals' pitchers, but they're not in the same class. Good pitching is supposed to beat good hitting, so that would mean the Astros should win. But the Cards have Pujols and Edmunds and Walker and that pesky Eckstein.

Heart, Astros. Head, Cardinals.
