Well, c'mon, this is hardly any surprise.  RSox are banged up, Sale's #s late season not good, Verlander's been splendid since Hou picked him up, and even the month prior.

Hou is the better team, and by a wide margin.  RSox will do well to win 1 game in this series.

In the NYY-Cle series, shows how bad Min really is, fans getting all worked up after NYY rallied to slaughter Min.  Now you play probably the best team in baseball, and NYY was way overmatched.  Chances of beating Kluber tomorrow, not very good....
