GDT: 2018 World Series: Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
- Thread starter rangerssharks414
- Start date
In Ken Burns' Baseball, he focused on 2 franchises - the Red Sox and Dodgers
Here in Boston, we enjoyed the season of 108 wins but we wanted to see success in October. What the Red Sox have done on the road so far in the postseason is astonishing. They are 2-2 at home and 5-0 on the road.
It is going to be cold in Boston Tuesday night as they are projecting a temp of 42 at game time

This is a very intriguing series.
It’s a rare matchup- these teams last faced off in the Fall Classic in 1916, a year before the NHL was formed. (Came close a few times- 1949, 1978, 2008, 2013)
You got two classic and iconic stadiums- Fenway and Dodger Stadium.
One team trying to put the cherry on top of an all time season, another trying to find redemption from last year.
An LA lineup that can stack up well up with Boston (run differential, team HR’s, runs).
Starting staffs seem even, two much maligned bullpens peaking at the right time.
All Might thinks this series will be a mismatch- I have to disagree.
I think the Dodgers have a shot to win this series

More like modern day miracle
I disagree. The Dodger pitching staff is better built to give Boston fits than Milwaukee’s

War, children, it’s just a shot away
How so? Verlander, Cole and Keuchel are better than Kershaw, Buehler and Hill/Maeda.

Not Ingrid for now
I dislike the Sox almost as much as the Yankees (I can't tell the difference between their respective fanbases), but they do have the largest # of remaining former Tigers, so..I guess Sox bandwagon.
Boston in 6.
Boston in 6.
The AL went 144-156 against the NL. So all this talk about the AL being far superior is fake news.

Maeda? Have you even watched the Dodgers at all this year? He hasn’t started a game in months. He works out of the bullpen.

Oops I meant to say Ryu. Even then, I think it makes no difference. Astros have a way better rotation.
The Cardinals started Anthony Reyes against a young very talented Justin Verlander in 2006...Jeff Weaver was also on their team. This isn't that big of a mismatch.

Does Roberts really count though? I believe he was born on a US military base.
