Good news for me, and other Pirates fans, we have the 1st pick! Again...
And now for my 2010 MLB division series predictions.
ALDS
Texas/Tampa Bay: My pick, Tampa Bay, not only cause the Rays are my second favorite team, it is because they have an overall great team with everything needed to win the World Series. Texas has all of this as well, but I strongly believe the home-field for the Rays will help them win the series. Rays in 4.

New York/Minnesota: My pick, its hurts to say this but New York. Because the Twins will not have Justin Morneau, but still this is going to be a great series. I see it going all 5 games. Yankees in 5.

NLDS
Cincinnati/Philadelphia: My pick, Cincinnati, because the Reds have been underdogs for years and now its their time to shine, but the Phillies with good pitching will make this a 5 game series. Reds in 5.

Atlanta/San Francisco: My pick, Atlanta, because its Bobby Cox's last year, and I'd like to see Atlanta play good for him, the Giants have great pitching which will make it hard for the Braves excellent hitter. Braves in 4.
