I voted Cleveland, but admit that was more a "who I want to see win" than anything else. Anybody But Boston!

The key player in this series may be, of all people again, Paul Byrd. The Red Sox starting pitching is at least ostensibly superior, so even if CLE can wrangle splits with Beckett and Schilling, for example, they're going to have to beat Matsuzaka or Wakefield (or someone!)

Actually, I like Sabathia and Carmona against Beckett and Schilling. Toss a coin there. But does Byrd deliver against Dice-K?
