We have a few days without baseball here, which means we have a few days to think about Boston’s upcoming opponent in Houston. They certainly don’t have the same emotional power against Red Sox fans as the Yankees, but they very much have an argument for being the better team. In fact, despite Boston’s regular-season win total, I think most will predict Houston to win this series and then go on to win the World Series. They obviously knocked the Red Sox out of the postseason in last year’s ALDS and then went on to win a championship.
