    Red Sox +570 to win WS
    Just put two units on this.

    1) Best lineup in baseball... everyone works counts and wears pitchers down... they hit every kind of pitching.

    2) Excellent, underrated defense.

    3) Solid pitching staff. Some question marks, but every team has those. Bullpen has really rounded into form lately (excluding Kimbrel, but he should be fine).

    Negative:

    1) John Farrell is an average-at-best game manager. But so what? They outscored every other team by like 100 runs.

      Garbage they have the hitting but it takes a complete team to win a series remind me of the way the jays bats were going off last year and then yah...David price a career playoff disappointment

        Pinny has Boston at +209 to win the AL - Like them in that spot better but those WS odds are definitely worth a sprinkle...

          Since the beginning of September, pen ranks second in the AL in ERA (1.81) and first in opponent average (.198) and strikeout rate (10.4 K/9).

                Kimberly will not be fine. He's a regular season pitcher and always has been. They will have to win the playoffs by smashing the ball and scoring an absolute ton of runs because the bullpen will fail. If they don't rake they're done

                  One month doesn't make up for 5 months of garbage.

                                  Incorrect. However they make the ALCS. Season ends there.

                                      Some of those pitchers won't be on PS roster.

                                        Lost 2 starting pitchers(wright and pomeranz) both all stars this year i think. Price perennial postseason loser and a must bet against as a bettor. Offense is great but a lot of them has never played in the postseason so u never know. Kimbrel era is above 3.

                                              Their bullpen is subpar I agree, but they actually stepped it up in September . Hopefully it carries over.

                                                    Texas over them to win it all. Fact is Texas plays wildcard and Boston is at cleveland. Boston loses game 1..price game 2..wow. still say based on pitchers Boston should be minus 180 game 1. Cleveland pitcher is awful.last 5 starts. But Vegas thinks game 1 isn't as.big of a Boston advantage then I think.

Boston loses game 1..price game 2..wow. still say based on pitchers Boston should be minus 180 game 1. Cleveland pitcher is awful.last 5 starts. But Vegas thinks game 1 isn't as.big of a Boston advantage then I think.

                                                        Looking ahead to price and passing over porcello who's been absolutely lights out good chance of AL Cy Young and on the other side? Trevor Bauer lol Boston hitters will embarrass him in front of his fans . Good chance sox sweep the tribe

                                                          Best of luck of course but keep in mind David Price is shit in the playoffs.

                                                            LB I get it and kluber will probably have most people thinking at least a split at home . Sox just string those hits together . Top to bottom , scary lineup for anyone
