It's all about the pitching and Chicago has it. They shut down a Cleveland team desperate to win and who had been hot until running into a Tampa team that has given the Sox and Yankees problems all year. The Red Sox rely upon walks to make their offense work. Outside of Damon they have no real base stealing speed and they strike out a lot.
I'm also worried that Boston may not have what it takes this year to beat a team like the Chicago White Sox...
