I don't know how the cardinals win two in boston. That's going to be ridiculously tough.

If Boston goes on to win the WS they should just split the MVP between Ortiz and Lester. Both have come up HUGE

Maybe 10% chance...

Wonder when the last time a team won Games 6 and 7 on the road to win a WS. Long time I'm thinking.

All they have to do is do what Boston just did to them. Odds are much better than just 10% I think.

IMO, facing elimination on the road makes it that much difficult. But, maybe 10% is too low.

One of the best baseball stories of our generation.

8. J.J. Putz, 2007, 0.698
9. Cla Meredith, 2006, 0.711
10. Takashi Saito, 2007, 0.715

2. Ernesto Frieri, 26.9%
3. Aroldis Chapman, 25.6%
4. Greg Holland, 24.2%
