As usual, King's kontrariness gets the best of him with his prediction of a Red Sox defeat...it's already clear the Cleveland ace Sabathia is a whole degree less effective than Beckett and that the Fenway 3-4-5 punch is a significant and unmatched force. The bullpens don't match up well after inning 7... Not to mention Cleveland's losing 5 of 7 during the regular season. In other words, there was no credible reason for decisively favoring the Indians except King's feeling that he has to be different. Sox should win and if they don't, it's an upset. And then King will pick the NL winner over the indians, I am sure...and he'd be wrong again.
