All Division Series at 2 and 0!

ALDS
Red Sox lead the Angels 2-0
Rays lead the White Sox 2-0

NLDS
Dodgers lead the Cubs 2-0
Phillies lead the Brewers 2-0

So all we know is that "Home Field Advantage" hasn't helped the Halos or the Cubbies. Phils are down as I type this against the Brewers 3-0 in the top of the sixth.

And we're sending (what sounds like) a healthy Josh Beckett to the mound tomorrow night at the reasonable hour of 7:17 PM.

His 1.73 ERA in 10 postseason appearances is the third lowest among pitchers with at least 40 innings. The .159 opponents batting average in the postseason is the lowest of any pitcher with 40-plus innings.

Lastly, from all accounts it seems like I should be glad we don't have TBS!!!

Post Season Predictions

Even though the AL Central hasn't been decided, here are my predictions....

ALDS:

Red Sox over Angels in 4 (with Beckett's start our only loss)
Devil Rays over whichever team in 4

NLDS:

Cubs over Dodgers in 3
Phils over Brewers in 5

I could be bold and predict further, but let's wait and see if this pans out.

Beckett on the DL

Steven Krasner, Providence Journal:

The Red Sox announced moments ago that Josh Beckett is suffering from a strained right elbow and has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 18.

To replace him, the Sox have purchased the contract of Pawtucket catcher David Ross, whom they signed to a minor-league deal last week. They will need to make a corresponding move to clear a spot on the 40-player roster for Ross.
