2013 World Series Preview


The World Series is finally upon us and the two teams that have taken a grueling road to get here are the Red Sox and Cardinals. Game 1 will be played in Boston at Fenway Park tonight. The Red Sox beat the Tigers in six games. The play that changed the series came at the hands of Big Papi, David Ortiz. Ortiz cracked a grand slam to tie the game up in Game 2 of the series. Detroit was about to go up 2-0 in the series until that play. The Cardinals took care of the Dodgers last series. Allen Craig is back in the starting lineup tonight. He suffered a sprained foot and hasn't played since September 4. He won't take the field, but will be the DH since the game is in Boston. Jon Lester is on the mound for the Sox, while Adam Wainwright is the starter for the Cards. Mike Napoli has been huge for the Red Sox as he hit 2 HR in the ALCS. Everyone has chipped in for St. Louis. Carlos Beltran has been on a tear in this Postseason. He has accounted for 10 hits for 12 RBI. Shane Robinson has also been solid for the Cards in just 4 games. This should be a very close series, bit I am going with the Cardinals in 7 games.
