5 max lol? Seems a bit unrealistic. Dodgers are a damm good team.

Yes, X W-L had them at 103 wins in the reg. season, even though t was mostly against mediocre NL competition. We are clearly favored, but not as much as we'd like. B2B World Series, came close last year. This wouldn't be that much of an upset if they win.

Lot of lefties in that LA rotation for these right handed bats to beat up on. Plus Kershaw got beat up pretty bad in the World Series last year if I remember right.

Dodgers World Series winning caliber roster but the Red Sox are going to finish of their greatest year in 100 years with World Series win number 4 since 2014 and in honor of Justin Verlander the third Red Sox manager to win as a first time Sox manager

Francona 2004
Farrell 2013
Cora 2018

I would love to see Betts at second - Mickey Stanley played SS in 1968 and he was a Gold glove CF during the year

I doubt they do it though and Kinsler and Holt are fine - and you lose that insane outfield D and Kinsler is very good

Looks like Sale is starting Game 1 and the Dodgers are deciding between Kershaw and Hill for game 1.

Tara Sullivan: For the Kimbrel family, the only save that truly mattered came in March - The Boston Globe


Lydia Joy Kimbrel is 13 days away from her first birthday.

The Red Sox are four wins away from giving her a most perfect present.

If it happens, if the Red Sox cap this remarkable season with a World Series title, if they end up taking one final champagne shower and partying with a championship duck boat tour, they will share a small but deeply emotional slice of their journey with little Lydia Joy.

The daughter of closer Craig Kimbrel and his wife Ashley is, after all, the toughest fighter in the room, surviving the congenital heart condition that necessitated multiple major surgeries, thriving since the March procedure that forced her dad to miss a large chunk of spring training and through it all, inspiring a group of teammates driven to rally around one of their own, a living, bouncing reminder that as great as it is to win a baseball game, beating the medical odds is so, so much sweeter.

“It’s been a long year. We’ve been through a lot,” Kimbrel said in the haze of the visitor’s locker room in Houston, where he’d just notched his third save of the ALCS, the last one clinching Boston’s trip to the Series. “To have a chance to do this in my professional life is great. Everything at home has been going great as well. She’s doing unbelievable. To be able to share this with her, to be able to go to the next round and share that with these guys, it’s special.”
