I believe we have Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Nathan Eovaldi lined up for games 1-3, so there's definitely a chance.  I hope we wrap it up at Fenway on game 3 or 4!

There's a chance the series is wrapped up game 3 at Fenway.  I must have misunderstood you at first?  

It's funny too because I read this detailed analysis that said that even though E-Rod hasn't had great stuff this year, the team scores a lot of runs when he pitches so the team wins the most when he goes.  And then a shutout.

Gamblers have the stats to prove it is the least predictable major team sport on a one game basis.  A team sport, but mostly a series of one on one match ups.  Misplace a pitch 6 inches and every hitter has a chance of getting on base.  At least half the lineup can jack it out of the park and a couple guys are highly likely to.  Add some big game pressure and things happen.  Just a couple well timed hits and a team has a big edge that night.  A couple of your pitchers get in lights out mode and you got a shot to win a series, even if your offense is mediocre.
