With the 2013 Wolrd Series beginning tomorrow between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals, lets take a preview of the series to come. Game 1 starters will be Wainwright for the Cards, who was dominant until his last outing versus the Dodgers, and Lester for the Red Sox. Both pitchers have been there and done that, so choosing which one will out-duel the other is really a toss up. I feel that the National League playoffs for the Cardinals were a lot more about pitching, both from their starters and bullpen. But, now in the World Series against the Red Sox good starting rotation the Cardinals will need to find a way to generate more offense. The Red Sox have faced great pitching throughout the American League playoffs so I feel that for them it will be about getting good outings from starting pitchers and bullpen. Just to throw out my personal opinion I believe the Red Sox will capture their 3rd World Series title in 9 years. I think the series will last 6 games with Boston ultimately winning in Fenway. I am going to take David Ortiz as my 2013 World Series MVP, who is in the top 10 all-time for career postseason homeruns.
