There is a common theme running through Eric Wilbur's Prediction Roundup:
"Red Sox in Seven."
That's our pick here at The Bottom Line... That's Eric's pick... and but the Bottom Line readers think the Sox will take it in 6 (see poll). Have you voted yet?

Here are a few of the predictions, click here for more.
Boston Globe: Dan Shaughnessy, Nick Cafardo, and Amalie Benjamin pick the Sox in seven, while Adam Kilgore and Tony Massarotti like the Rays in six.
St. Petersburg Times staff: Marc Topkin and Gary Shelton pick the Rays in six. Joe Smith and Dave Scheiber go with Rays in seven. Brent James and John Romano both like the Sox in a series to go the distance.
I like this one inparticular:
Evan Grant, Dallas Morning News: Red Sox in seven. “Tampa Bay has played excellent baseball since the start of the season and stared down the Red Sox and Yankees to win the AL East. They have home-field advantage and won the season series 10-8. But it's impossible to argue against the Red Sox' postseason experience. The bullpen is in better shape. And there is no telling what kind of madness the Rays are going to experience at Fenway Park in October.”

It looks like we can all agree on one thing: This series is going to be intense... and it all begins tonight... check back this afternoon for a preview of the Dice-K vs Shields match-up.
