Boston Red Sox v Los Angeles Dodgers
Best-of-seven, Dodgers with the home-field advantage.
With Gibby at the Rangers, it would have been wasteful to set up the ’88 IRL rematch here anyway. At least that’s how I choose to look at it.
I’m not sure the Sox want to give these Dodgers a 3-game start and think they’ll be able to pull off the same magic trick, they are a different beast entirely from that fairly young and flashy Oakland group.
Nor do I expect them to and think they’ll get it done in five here.
Should the Dodgers in fact win it all, on the other hand, they’ll move into a three-way tie with the Cubs and Yanks on 6 Championships.
