I disagree with the Stros having an edge in the pen, Lidge may be overall more intimidating and proven, but the Sox have El Duque, Cotts, Pollite and Jenks. Coupled with Lidge's confidence being rattled by Pujols, I'd say it's closer to even if not advantage Sox. Sox in 6, Stros won't be able to score enough runs and the Sox will only need to put 3 or 4 up per game (which I know isn't easy against Rocket, "Oh My Gosh" Pettit and Lee Harvey Oswalt). Should be a great Series...
