Let's Keep it simple

Are the Sox gonna win this series in NY. Why or why not?

No wins, inability to score runs

Ya---it seems so of late. Will PS energy get them back?

I always say yes, but if I had to throw out a couple of random things:

• How badly does Gray want to beat the NYY in NY?
• As good as the NYY rotation is, Gray, Tolle and Suarez have a 2.13, 1.53, and a 1.09 ERA is September.  When you're the underdog, games that might be 2-1 or 3-2 are very winnable.
• Even without Tyron, the BP is still pretty good.  I'm hoping that Tracy is not shy about using Whitlock for two innings.  He's been fairly conservative with his usage, but Whitlock regularly went 2+ innings when he broke in.

It may come down to Miller Time. Who else has got the 7th? No Tyron, no Slaten, and if no Judge, no Weissert.

Miller can either be lights out -- the pony bottles that make it America's most underrated summer pilsner -- or Lites on, walking the ballpark because he's less filling.

Unhittable or undrinkable?

Miller 

First 10 BOS outings: 10.1 IP, 7 H, 3 BB, 18 K, 0 HR, 0.00 ERA, 0.78 FIP

Last 9 BOS outings: 8.1 IP, 7 H, 9 BB, 11 K, 1 HR, 7.56 ERA, 5.98 FIP

Needs to keep the walks in check.
