“Houston must be sweating buckets because they have to face a BRAND NEW Red Soxs!”
The Red Sox’ pitching (new or otherwise) is VERY shaky. They are going to need about 24 innings from Sale to hang on (if his arm doesn’t fall off). With Verlander, Cole, Keuchel and Morton stacked up, along with a deeper bullpen, Houston should be able to hold down the Red Sox enough to outscore them. My money would go there.
I still say that Boston is going to settle accounts with Houston. They have not forgotten. New York was a warm-up. Plus they will be home.
I think that most of the odds makers are in agreement with you, regarding the formidable Astros.
If we can we back to back WS....it will be a well earned and well deserved (early) Christmas miracle ;-)
You have to realize that “biggirl” doesn’t know anything about baseball.
I’m a lifelong Red Sox fan, since before the “Miracle Year” of 1967, but I don’t underestimate the Astros.
Yes, the Red Sox bullpen makes me very nervous. Kimbrel nearly pissed the game away last night, and there are hardly any good, consistent arms there. I’m hopeful for my Red Sox, but I expect the Astros to give us a fierce battle and Astros pitching may win out.
