There is always a first tie for everything and Major League Baseball maybe is giving us a Preview of the 2K13 Fall Classic. Inter league Play usually doesn't start until mid to late May into mid to late June but MLB had another Idea. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will open in Cincy vs the Red Legs as the City of Cincinnati has to be loving the prospects of seeing an Junior Circuit Power this early in the game.

The Halos are loaded as Owner Arte Moreno has taken a few Pages out of the Yankees and what the Carmines use to do in loading up and using your Rivals as your Free Agent Pool. The Angels have picked up in back to back seasons the Rangers arguably Top Pitcher (C.J. Wilson in 2012) and Top Hitter (Josh Hamilton 2013) to fortify the Halos Line Up and Rotation moving forward. Throw them in with Ace RHP Jered Weaver (pictured above right) and and AL Rookie of The Year and 2nd in AL MVP Voting..in CF Mike Trout, RF Mike Trumbo, and First Baseman/DH Albert Pujols "El Hombre"...the Halos are loaded.

The Red Legs are picked to win the NL Central again and there is no reason not to pick them as they have Firepower as well. Led by right side of the Red Legs Infield in Second Baseman Brandon Phillips and First Baseman Joey Votto along with Ace RHP Johnny Cueto as they have their Leaders at the Dish, on the Bump, in the Field, and in the Clubhouse. Also OF Jay Bruce, 2012 NL ROY 3rd place finisher in 3B Todd Frazier, 2013 Trade Pick Up Shin Soo-Choo, and have moved Cuban Flame Thrower Aroldis Chapman to the Starting Rotation. The Reds look dynamite on Paper and all their Parts are proven parts.

360 Degrees as both Skips were part of the Dodgers Tommy LaSorda Group back in the late 70s and early 80s in Dusty Baker (Reds Skip) and Mike Scioscia (Halos Skip) as they are easily Top Five in the Show.
