The Amazin' Rays are heading for a collision with the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox
The American League Championship Series features the team of destiny, the Tampa Bay Rays, against their division rival, the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox.
Friday Night, Game One starts. James Shields will be opposed by Daisuke Mastuzaka.
Home Field Advantage heads to The Rays. During the season, Tampa Bay won the season series against the Red Sox 10-8.
It seemed like Tampa Bay waited until late in the game to strike. I remember watching the September 10th game between these two teams on ESPN. Nobody Scored after the third inning. Eleven innings later, they were still playing baseball. Then, Carlos Pena stepped up and hit a Monster three run homerun to give the Rays a 4-1 lead. The RedSox would get a dacrafice fly in the bottom of the inning, but it wouldn't be enough, as the Red Sox won 4-2.
The Rays have this amazing ability to come back late in ballgames. They are never out of a ballgame until every out has been recorded.
Akinori Iwamura and Evan Longoria have been On Fire! Expect Boston to pitch to them carefully.
Jason Bay has been a solid replacement for Manny Ramirez, in the field and at the plate.
The Team Of Destiny versus the defending World Series Champions. This series will be awesome!
PREDICTION: RAYS IN FIVE
