X-FACTORS FOR ALL 4 AL PLAYOFF TEAMS, PREDICTION (edited)

Now that everything is settled, here are the final X-Factors.

TAMPA BAY RAYS: David Price

The last month has not been Price's best, but if he can turn it around in October, the Rays will float past Texas in the ALDS. The only problem is that last year Texas destroyed Price last year, and I'm not convinced they won't this year.

TEXAS RANGERS: Alexei Ogando

Ogando began the season pitching like an ace (stats), he has had a tough time during the second half (stats), if he pitches like the first half Ogando, it will give Tampa an amazing 1-2 punch which can be vital in winning a series.

DETROIT TIGERS: Max Scherzer

Even though Justin Verlander might be the best pitcher in baseball, it will take more then just himself to make it to the World Series, he needs a sidekick. If Scherzer can pitch like he has recently the Tigers will be in the ALCS facing off against the New York Yankees.

NEW YORK YANKEES: Freddy Garcia

The Yankees have CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova as their 1-2 punch, but If Freddy Garcia pitches like he did against the Red Sox, when he threw six shutout innings, or even close to that, the Yankees will be in the World Series for the second time in three years.

ALCS PREDICTION:

Yankees over Texas in 6
