Unless you are blindly follow the insane rantings of ORS, then the answer is no.
Here's a question for all you Sox fans. Out of the potential playoff teams, us, Guardians, Angels, Tigers....is there any doubt which team you fear the most? We don't match up well against the Angels, you don't match up well against us. Remember, if we tie for the division, we win based on our record against you.
We hit your pitching better than you hit ours. Against each other, our closers are a virtual wash, we both beat the crap out of Rivera and Papelbon respectively. The only one who hasn't been hit is Chamberlain, but he will be hit by you. We have a much better offense overall, and much better overall team speed. Pitching is pretty much a wash. No matter what, you can't 86 years of futility with one series. See the 1955 Dodgers.
We can't beat the Angels. I don't think you guys have a chance to beat us. The only way we don't make the World Series is if we face the Angels the first round.
