Honestly, I think this ends in 5.
I'm just not terribly confident who ends it.
For some reason when teams appear to be this evenly matched, often the dam breaks early and one side gets just enough momentum that all the breaks go that way and they just keep plowing forward. That was definitely how the 2004 WS went.
If I had to put money down it would be on the Cards stealing game 1 in Fenway then closing it out behind Wainwright in game 5 back home. But man, I could easily see it going the other way if Waino can't get the W and game 2 turns on us. Suddenly the matchups are no longer as favorable in game 3 and 4 and the series could be done before we blink.
Boston's a good team with a dynamic offense (they do a lot of things pretty well). Their bullpen is suddenly nails and they've been facing power arms for the better part of the last week so they're not going to be surprised by Wacha, Kelly and the bullpen firing 98 at them all day.
But I like our SP much more than I like theirs.
It's just a damn tough series to get a read on.
