The fact each of the last four games have been decided by two or fewer runs shows how closely matched the teams are. Notice we did not go with any zigzag in the last game because of intel in the Red Sox favor. Those metrics do not apply here.

Michael Wacha has won five straight with uncanny numbers of ERA and WHIP of 0.76 and 0.62. John Lackey has a 2.91 ERA last four.

Enjoy Game 7.
