Another 6 card lead for the Sox. But there's a reason we play the game...

Mike Lowell "Red" vs Carlos Guillen
Not a big lose for the Tigers off the bat.
Red Sox-16 Tigers-9

Jason Bay vs Magglio Ordonez
Bay is a very good player. Overrated?, very slightly at most. Mags I think is an excellent player that seems to always be, for lack of a better word, forgotten.
Red Sox-15 Tigers-9

Jacoby Ellsbury vs Curtis Granderson "Unique Unis"
Good insert for the Tigers, although I think the Granderson would have beaten Ellsbury anyways.
Red Sox-14 Tigers-9

David Ortiz vs Carlos Guillen "Red"
Excellent timing this time for the Tigers!
Red Sox-13 Tigers-9

David Ortiz "Red" vs Miguel Cabrera
Paybacks a bitch.
Red Sox-13 Tigers-8

Aaron Bates vs Miguel Cabrera "Red"
Almost a wasted Red for the Tigers here. Anything at all would have beaten Bates.
Red Sox-12 Tigers-8

Josh Reddick vs Curtis Granderson
For some strange reason, thewre's something always telling me to not like Granderson. It could be the Yankee factor, it could be the Wrestling thing. Don't know...
Red Sox-11 Tigers-8

Josh Reddick "Red" vs Magglio Ordonez
Back to the top for the Tigers and it's not so good this time round.
Red Sox-11 Tigers-7

Jason Bay "Copper" vs Curtis Granderson "Unique Unis"
And there's the Copper card. Couldn't have been timed better for the Sox.
Red Sox-11 Tigers-6

Mike Lowell vs Carlos Guillen "Red"
The Tigers are making this interesting...
Red Sox-10 Tigers-6

Dustin Pedroia vs Miguel Cabrera "Red"
The Red Sox lead is cut in half at this point! Up by only 3.
Red Sox-9 Tigers-6

Victor Martinez vs Curtis Granderson
Now disregard what I said previously for a second. Victor's gonna win this one, but look at the stats. Higher AVG, 300 more H and 300 less SO.
Red Sox-9 Tigers-5

The Tigers took it to the Sox, but are still down by 4. That could prove too much going into the pitching match ups...

Josh Beckett vs Justin Verlander "Unique Unis"
I'm calling it now. Verlander will have no less then 10,000 career strikeouts. I would say 20,000, but I don't wanna be to bold.
Red Sox-8(3) Tigers-5(3)

Dice-K "Red" vs Justin Verlander
Fuck it, 50,000 STRIKEOUTS!!!
Red Sox-8(3) Tigers-4(2)

Dice-K vs Ryan Perry
This is tough cuz it looks like Perry has been used mainly as a reliever so far. I'm going with Dice-K, but Perry could still prove himself down the road.
Red Sox-8(3) Tigers-3(2)

Jon Lester vs Justin Verlander "Unique Unis"
Last match-up and it goes to the Tigers!
Red Sox-7(2) Tigers-3(2)

Pitching advantage- None

Final Score: Red Sox-7
Tigers-3

The Tigers made it close for a while, and continued to hold their own but the automatic deficit of 6 was 4 too much. Red Sox are the AL winners and will take on the NL winners to see who gets their refund!
