Computer baseball sim Imagine Sports/Diamond Mind Baseball ran the 2007 ALCS 1,000 times, and the Red Sox won 59% of the time. If the Red Sox won game 1, they won the series 72.5% of the time, and if Cleveland won, the Indians won 59% of the time.

Schilling had to turn into a crafty old veteran after his injury. Sort of a Greg Maddux type.

The ump is widening the zone just a touch and that makes it a lot harder for a pull hitter to do anything on the outside.
