The managers.
I think this factor is being overlooked a little bit. Ozzie Guillen is by far the better of the two and has,imo, a better grasp of the game the "old scrape iron". Garner will have his pen depleted by the 3rd game. Ozzie is more of a thinking man's manager, while Garner is just plain awful. Sox can win close games and have better situational match-ups in the pen then the Stos. Ozzie coached in the NL w/Fl and can play an Nl style if need be. Houston will struggle to score runs in this series. I like the Sox.
