The 2007 World Series teams are set with the Colorado Rockies representing the NL and the Boston Red Sox representing the AL.

The World Series begins Wednesday night on FOX in thanks to the All-Star Game back in July. This should be a great series featuring the first David vs. Goliath story since the 2003 Series.

The Rockies shocked the world and are riding one of the most impressive win streaks ever in the history of the sport. Meanwhile, the Red Sox just finished a dog fight of a series with Cleveland.

The favorite will undoubtedly be Boston so do you guys think Colorado can pull off the unthinkable?

Not making a prediction, but I wanted to pass along this stat:
"Colorado outscored Boston 20-5 in winning two of three during an interleague series at Fenway in June."

I will take Boston in 6

With that 20-5 stat heavy on my mind... I still think it's the Sox in 6. Beckett & Schilling win games 1 & 2. Dice-K loses what will probably be a close one in game 3. That knuckle ball in the thin, cold, crisp, Colorado air... hahaha... yeah right! I think Wakefield gets pulled in the 3rd inning after giving up 6+ runs. With the series tied 2-2, Beckett shuts 'em down to win game 5. Back to Fenway... Schilling keeps them in it for 7 strong and the Sox win it with the River Dancin' Pap on the mound! I'll go out on a limb... Beckett gets the WS MVP as well.

I'll be rooting like hell for Colorado, but I don't see them beating the Red Sox. I hope I'm wrong.

The week off may hurt the Rockies who were flying high. There is no doubt after watching them close out the season and sweep through the 1st two rounds that they have a shot at winning. Defensively the Rockies are light years better than Boston, pitching wise Boston has the edge in starters but Colorado has the edge in the bullpen. Hitting wise the Rockies have some big hitters, but Boston has the edge. It should be a pretty competitive series, but then I thought that Arizona would be competitive also. Go Rockies!

My official jinx-free prediction...Colorado Rockies in SIX games.

This should be a fun series to watch the "little" Rockies take on the "giant" Red Sox.
