vs. |
Red Sox |
Passan's Take |
| |
Starters |
 |
Stuff and experience gives Boston the edge. |
| |
Offense |
 |
Sox have hit this postseason, Rox have not (.242 BA). |
 |
Defense |
|
Unlike Red Sox, Rockies have no holes. |
| |
Manager |
 |
Francona gets edge only because he's been here before. |
 |
Intangibles |
|
As hot as Boston is, Rockies even more so (won 21 of 22). |
| |
|
Red Sox |
Bottom Line: Beckett gives Red Sox an advantage. Their lineup seals the deal. Boston in six. |
