Going into game 162 of the season, the Red Sox and Rays are tied atop the AL Wild Card. Nobody would have predicted this to happen at the start of the offseason, as many people picked the Red Sox to be in the World Series against the Phillies. Both the Red Sox and the Rays are sending their best pitchers on the mound today, David Price for the Rays and Jon Lester for the Red Sox. The Red Sox against the Orioles and the Rays against the Yankees. Difference is, the Rays will not be facing anyone on the mound who is even worthy of making the playoff roster for the Yankees, when the Red Sox play a team that would love to play spoiler.
So how do you think this will play out? Will the Rays complete the huge comeback they have mounted in the month of September? Or will the Red Sox regain themselves and limp into the playoffs? Or will we be seeing a 163rd game between these two teams.
In my opinion I feel the Rays are going to pull this off. They're playing a team that isn't really trying all that much today, and if they had it their way the Red Sox wouldn't be in the playoffs anyway. Baseballs a funny game though and anything can happen.
What about you guys?
