The Red Sox split their two short series, losing to Toronto in both games (with Wakefield and Tavarez getting bested, especially Julian) while taking both in Baltimore on the back of Wily Mo, Beckett, Schilling, and Ramirez, with help from the O's bullpen who spoiled good jobs by Loewen and Cabrera.

Now they have a three gamer in NYY, which should be a lot harder than the last series in Boston

The Sox have Matsuzaka, Wakefield, and Tavarez against Pettitte, Igawa, and Wang.

FC's Prediction: Yankees take two of three: don't know which two.
