In 2008 Borowski becomes a starter and wins 23 games (see Carmona's 2006 closer numbers).

if you could make an awesome starter by first having him be a terrible closer, lots more teams would do that

Aside from Borowski, CLE has three lights out relievers.

but, you need to count Borowski, since he is pitching important innings. Also, the Red Sox have 3 great relievers.

I can't quite get my mind around having four starts from Sabathia and Carmona and the Indians not winning at least three of those.

[/ QUOTE ]

they made 2 starts against the Red Sox this year. they were both excellent starts. each team won 1 game.

however, Westbrook and Byrd are slightly better than Dice-K and Wakefield.

[/ QUOTE ]

Westbrook DERA: 4.35
Byrd DERA: 4.70

Dice-K DERA: 4.23
Wakefield DERA: 4.76 (Lester is 4.26)

it's very close, if anything BOS gets the edge
