Yeah hitting is important, but pitching dominates in the playoffs. Even those 2013 Red Sox... they were a very good offensive team, no doubt about it. They were more balanced. I think they only had two guys hit 20 HR during the season.
But in the playoffs, Lester went off. He went 4-1 and was lights out every start. Lackey was pretty effective too. The offense had a .609 team OPS in the ALCS, and a .621 team OPS in the World Series. The Cardinals scored 14 runs in 6 World Series games.
