Today's game slate: Boston/Anaheim at 3, Cleveland in the Bronx at 6:30.
For Boston to win this series isn't terribly surprising; a sweep would be somewhat unexpected, but it doesn't harm the pool. A Cleveland sweep, on the other hand, is a disastrous prospect: about a quarter of the players get knocked out outright.
And that's not even counting the slugger slate. Of the surviving position player picks, only one is not Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod's batting average in the series to date: .000. His performance Friday evening: a hat trick. (In Rodriguez's defense, nobody else is hitting for shit either except Abreu. Mr. November is riding the interstate at .125.)
Hard to know what to expect; I had bet on the Cubs to hang in there last night, but the D-backs got 'em down early and kept 'em down for the duration. No clue what's going to happen in L.A., but this Westbrook guy going up for the Indians does not have intimidating numbers. My prediction: Angels and Bombers both live to fight another day. Hope I'm right or Broomfield's going home with our lunch money.

Vladimir "Ol' Gimpy" Guerrero is currently being held together with little more than spit and Elmer's Glue.
I expect a hee-yuge Sox win led by a "valiant" Curt Schilling start (his words, from his forthcoming blog post on "38pitches", not mine)
