Beckett because he's a very good pitcher and can probably limit the Tribe to just a few runs, which should be enough for the Sox to squeak by.

I think Beckett wins this game, but that only means that the Tribe will win the ALCS at Fenway. I have lost faith.

I think the Indians will win just because they're at home, Beckett can't win every game and our defense should hold up.

Yes he can...😛

Beckett will win this game, he used to playing under great pressure. Look at the last game of the 2003 series with Marlins/Yankees.

Good pitching against good hitting + momentum. Will be an interesting game. I predict beckett probably wins this game, but only if the Red Sox find their bats again. Solo homers even back to back to back dont win baseball games

Beckett. Better arm.

Don't count the Red Sox out. Remember 2004 (down 3-0 in the ALCS, then 8 straight over the Yankees and Cardinals to win it all). Can lightning strike twice?

No, the Red Sox offense is slumping badly. And their pitching staff isn't nearly as good

and they're going against Sabathia 😀

I don't think Sabathia will lose to same team twice in a week. Beckett is due for a pounding anyway

True. And if the Indians bring in Betancourt you can count on the Sox doing absolutely nothing.

And tomorrow night, boys and girls, Schilling will be wearing his bloody sock.
