Game One of the World Series Tuesday night went over the total of 7.5 runs by the 5th inning. However, the result is unlikely to be repeated on Wednesday night. While both lineups are certainly potent, the weather in Boston is chilly with a bracing north wind expected Wednesday evening at Fenway Park.
While the weather didn't stop the hitters on Tuesday night it certainly is not "hitter-friendly" weather in Boston right now. The pitching match-up Wednesday features two starters with whom the opposing lineups are not familiar.
