And it will be hilarious.
A's aren't THAT good. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Yankees in the WC game but I don't see them knocking off Boston.

I don't see why they can't considering inferior teams have knocked off great teams before (Cards-Phillies in 2011, Cards-Anyone in 2006, the million times the Braves have lost in the NLDS, Phillies-Giants in 2010, etc.). Anything can happen in a 5 game series.

I'll give them a chance to slaughter Sox pitching

I give them almost no chance to shut down the Sox lineup

When I weigh who has the better odds of shutting down the opposing offense, I got the Sox by a pretty wide margin

I agree. I hate these words that I'm about to say....

The Boston Red Sox are on a whole other level this year. I mean Mookie Betts, Chris Sale (when healthy), JD Martinez, Rick Porcello...these guys are playing elite baseball right now. If the Red Sox don't win the World Series this year, I will be shocked. Shocked isn't even the right word. Flabbergasted! That's the word. Oakland has Khris Davis, but their rotation needs some help.

This.

In 2016 the Indians had no business winning any of their series, yet they swept the Red Sox, beat the Jays in five and pushed the Cubs to seven games.

Chris Sale is a bitch and David Price eats dick in big games.

Didn't mention David Price because David Price sucks massive amounts of dick. Chris Sale is just hurt, that's all. Chris Sale is 12-4 with a 2.11 ERA, arguably the best statistical year of his career had he not gotten hurt. We can't all have a Corey Kluber lol

Chris Sale is the Indians' bitch. Him and Verlander. Tribe owns both of those hoes. And Dirt is a fag.

Verlander has a ring. 'Nuff said. Tough talk from a guy who's team JUST started becoming relevant again.
