Don't get me wrong, the Giants are a quality unit, but especially without Marquard I just don’t see them getting past this Red Sox juggernaut. I mean, this is a side that has won nearly 200 games the past two seasons with Cristobal Torriente getting less than 100 ABs as Tris Speaker's backup in CF. One can only imagine how good they'd be if Ruth had qualified for them as a Legacy rather than the Yanks. That said, I don't see the Sox's victory being quite as clear-cut as their sweep of the Braves last season. My call is for them to win this in 5 or 6.
