I'll leave the graphics and pitching matchups to someone else (ahem, Sean). Just saw this note that could affect the series though:

Manny being Manny or is he really hurt?

This is a tough one. I think asking Joba to beat Beckett at Fenway is asking a ton. Then you have to give us the advantage with Pettitte vs. Wakefield, but Wakefield has been pitching great of late. And obviously the Sox have a huge advantage with Lester against Ponson.

I'd be ecstatic with 2/3, but 1/3 is the much more likely scenario. Winning Friday would be absolutely enormous.
