Another day another pair of division games, this time exclusively ALDS games. With these two the Division Series are all looking rather one-sided.
Thanks to the always clutch hitting of Dioner Navarro, the Rays were able to start posting runs and making up the two run deficit that Kazmir rounded up in Game 2 of their series. After scoring two in the first, the White Sox are unable to answer any of the next six runs scored by the Rays. They win it 6-2 and push their lifetime postseason record to 2-0.
Boston put together a nice, timely ninth-inning home run by J.D. Drew to push them ahead for a 7-2 victory. While a nice, solid sweep is likely, I’d hate to see the Sox come out of their series with so much momentum. How likely is it to not happen? Josh Beckett pitches tomorrow. The Sox will be playing Tampa soon.
Tonight’s NLDS games have a chance to deliver a winner. I predict the Phillies will win, but I’m hopeful the Cubs at least make it interesting. We’ll see tonight.
