Miss Predicto has a confesssion: he really didn’t want the Red Sox to go to the World Series. It’s nothing personal. I’d just rather see two teams like the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies get a turn at the top prize. Because let’s face it: once the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years and finally escaped The Curse of the Bambino, who cares about them anymore?

Now the Phillies versus Rays seem like a very interesting matchup since both won their respective divisions. Here’s some eye-raising info you might know about them:

The Rays didn’t even exist until 10 years ago.  But here’s the crazy thing. They had the worst record in the league in the 2007-2008 season, so they were 200-to-1 longshots to even reach the World Series this season!

The Phillies have been around a lot longer than the Rays, which has given them an unfortunate record: they’ve lost the most games of any team in MLB history. No, really. Talk about a major chip on your shoulder. At least they’ve won a championship before…all the way back in 1980. Not quite as legendary as the Red Sox’s losing streak, but still pretty sucktastic.

So who’s going to win? I’d bet on the Rays, but 54% of PredictoMobile users think the Phillies will win the World Series.
