Fenway Park is not just a place - it is a community around the ballpark. This fence also made the Stadium Journey's top 10 quirks of baseball. Boston will have home field advantage for the World Series - since the AL won the ALL - Star Game in 2013. If it makes anybody feel any better, the Red Sox had the best record in baseball this season anyway.

Fenway Park is not just a place – it is a community around the ballpark. This fence also made the Stadium Journey’s top 10 quirks of baseball. Boston will have home field advantage for the World Series – since the AL won the ALL – Star Game in 2013. If it makes anybody feel any better, the Red Sox had the best record in baseball this season anyway.  The Red Sox will face the St. Louis Cardinals in the Fall Classic for the 3rd time (St. Louis won in 1967, and Boston won in 2004).  The winner will emerge as the only team in the MLB – to have won 3 World Series in the last 10 years.  Boston would be 3 out of 10, and the Cardinals would be 3 Titles in 7 years.  Pic by http://www.ballparkreviews.com

Wainwright has been money in the bank since the club acquired him. He is 99 - 57 (.635) with a 3.11 ERA. Wainwright will be considered for another NL Cy Young, which will likely mean a top 5 vote for the 3rd time in 4 years. The RHP has led the NL in wins 2x (2009 and 2013). He also has a 4 - 0 mark in PostSeason - with a 2.03 ERA in time as a Closer - and as a Starting Pitcher.

He also has a 4 – 1 mark in PostSeason – with a 2.130ERA in time as a Closer – and as a Starting Pitcher.  He did suffer his 1st loss against the Los Angeles in Game #3 last week.  I bet he bounces back.

Odds To Game #1:

St. Louis Cardinals +115 Boston Red Sox -125

MLB Reports Pick – I would bet the Cardinals in Game #1 of the Series.  If they win, I would then take the Red Sox for the rest of the Series with a more favorable odd.

Lester had started his career 61-26 (.709) before he has pitched to a 39 - 30 record the last two seasons (.565). Lester went from leading the active pitchers in Winning Percentage = to now being in 5th. If he doesn't win Game #1 for Boston, the Red Sox would become the underdogs for the remainder of the World Series. Lester is 4 - 4, with a 2.49 ERA in 11 Games for Boston throughout his playoff Career,

About chuckbooth3023

I played competitive baseball until 18 years old and had offers to play NCAA Division 1 University Baseball at Liberty University. Post-concussion symptoms from previous football and baseball head injuries forced me to retire by age 19. After two nearly made World Record Attempts in 2008, I set a New World Record by visiting all 30 MLB Parks (from 1st to last pitch) in only 24 Calendar Days in the summer 0f 2009. In April of 2012, I established yet another new GWR by visiting all 30 Parks in only 23 Calendar Days! You can see the full schedule at the page of the www.mlbreports.com/gwr-tracker . In 2015, I watched 224 MLB Games, spanning all 30 MLB Parks in 183 Days. Read about that World Record Journey at https://mlbreports.com/183in2015/229sked2015/
