I have a feeling this series is going to have a lot of twists and turns.
I am picking the Sox in 6.
brock holt will have his name imprinted on this series.
I'm not worried about Kershaw or anybody's ace. We seem to rise to meet the challenges.
I'm hoping it's a warm night for Sale's start.
I like our 4 starters- all with extra rest.
I'm thinking Sox in 5, maybe 6.
I expect a 100% Sale. Kershaw is the guy who is diminished. He is still good but ain’t elite anymore. His stuff is not dominant as it used to be. Also he will face the best offense in baseball. BOS is way better than MIL and ATL. Not even close. Also He will pitch in an AL park.
IMO we win the 2 at home. 2 at LAD, and not sure whether we lose one. Series won’t comeback to Boston. Want to be humble but we are that good this year.
I base my predictions on wishful thinking. It's just as valid as any other measure. Sox in 5 because there's another event I'd like to attend the scheduled night of game 6, and I have to work on the scheduled night of game 7. Take care of business for me, Red Sox!
Anybody think the Colder weather is going to effect the Dodgers. I do.
I think the sox take it in 5, 6 the most.
Anybody see the crazy checkerboard uniforms the Dodgers had when they last met the sox in the WS in 1916?
I'm late to the party but I am going with 6 games, possibly 7. As many are saying the Dodgers are no pushovers. They were a bit of a sleeper team as their record was the 3rd or 4th worst coming into the playoffs. But this is a well rounded team. Top 5 in pretty much every category. Not to mention they were a game away from winning the World Series last year. With that said, Boston is on an incredible role right now and I think we win this series. But it won't be easy by any means.
Dodgers not a big running team, about same as Houston. Stolen Bases not a big concern. 2nd most HRS in the Majors. Dodgers hit more HRS at home then on the Road. Big Park, they have Power. Hit better on the Road for Average though, pretty significant too.

Kershaw is defintely hit or miss at this point in the season. He's had good games and bad ones in the NLCS, and his three World Series starts included a terrific 7IP, 1ER outing, a complete clunker (4.2IP, 6ER), and a short rest 4 IP outing in relief where he was pretty good...
