The Yankees are the better team all around. They were my pick to win the AL in March. But this season has been filled with so many inexplicable victories for the Orioles that it's hard to pick against them now.

I've learned my lesson. There's no percentage in betting against this new form of Oriole Magic. O's take the first two at home and win the series in four games.

Looking at the pitching matchup and the way Texas had hammered them all year, the Orioles were a legitimate underdog in the wild-card game. That's not the case in this series. The O's have proven they're on par with the Yankees by splitting the season series (9-9) and taking the AL East race down to the final night. With the better manager and better bullpen, they'll find a way to move on again.
