Since the best-of-7 was adopted in 1985, the team that has won Game 2 has advanced to the World Series 73% of the time. In their 27 home series in 2008, the Rays have dropped back-to-back games only 3 times. And they have done it only once in the last 24 home series. Matchups to keep an eye on...Cliff Floyd is hitting .286 against Josh Beckett..that includes 2 HR and 4 RBI. David Ortiz has 2 HR and 8 RBI career against Kazmir, but he's hitting only .205. The Rays cannot afford a slow start by Kazmir. He struggled early against Chicago in Round 1. If that happens tonight, the Rays are staring at a 2-0 start to open the series. Al Keck
