This doesn't actually happen as much as you might think.
The two teams with the best records in the American League and National League
are meeting in the World
Series. It's the St. Louis Cardinals vs. the Boston Red Sox, two teams that
won 97 games in the regular season. The top winners in each league haven't met
in the series since 1999. The 2013 World Series is the 109th edition
of Major League Baseball’s championship series. The best-of-seven playoff is
expected to end before Halloween, barring any weather delays.
There's no Underdog this
year. No San Francisco Giants looking to shock the world. Just the
top two teams, and two of the top MLB franchises historically, each looking to
add another World Series to their trophy case. This year’s series is the first
since 2008 where both team’s managers are managing their first World Series.
This year’s matchup
is a rematch from 2004 where the Red Sox swept the series. The lineups for each
team are very different, with only David Ortiz returning for the Sox, and
Yadier Molina for the Cardinals. This promises to be a fantastic and
action-packed matchup.

Williams fully expects the Red Sox to trump the Cardinals. “The Cardinals do
not have enough depth to the pitching rotation. The Sox are going to win out
easily,” said Williams
