Ari Hest is one of those rare individuals who excelled at both a sport (baseball) and music (he's an awesome singer/songwriter). In other words, he's the perfect candidate to talk about baseball for this blog, and we had a chance to ask Ari to predict how he thinks the divisional playoffs will shake out. Here is what he had to say....
Colorado Rockies vs. Philadelphia Phillies--Ari says: "Phillies in 3 - I love the Rockies this year, but I think they're due for a letdown. They've been overachieving all year and I just don't see them getting past philly. Cliff Lee was a huge pickup."
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers--Ari says: "Cardinals in 5 - This one is really tough. I'm not crazy about either team, but (Adam) Wainwright and (Chris) Carpenter have been through it before and I think that gets them the win. Expect a lot of low scoring games that are settled late."
New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers or Minnesota Twins--Ari says: "Yankees in 5 - my Yankees have looked dominant for a while now, but they'll run into some trouble with either team here. I expect them to drop games 2 and 3 and finish with wins in games 4 and 5."
Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox--Ari says: "Angels in 4 - The Angels to me are the most exciting team in baseball, and the Sox are hard to trust this year. They'll win big at Fenway in game 4."
Ari Hest is touring in support of his latest album, Twelve Mondays. The album is available through www.arihest.com (which also has tour dates and more info) or on iTunes.
