You know how good the Red Sox are when you look at the Dodgers lineup/rotation and first thought is "not quite good enough." Sox are loaded, we all knew it from Opening Day, it was just a matter if they were going to put it together. They've beaten two 100-win teams in order to get here.
That AL East this year - I know they had a 47-win Orioles team to beat up on - had 3 90+ win teams this year. The Rays won 90 and finished 18 games back! The Braves won 90 and won their division.
