Today's WSJ did a point/counterpoint piece about whether the National League will finally send the American League to defeat today, for the first time since 1996. Write Mike Sielski, who was taking the side supporting the NL, wrote this:
Over his career, the Dodgers' Jonathan Broxton has averaged more strikeouts per nine innings against AL opponents (12.3) than he has against those in his own league. Plus, this isn't the National League Championship Series, so it should be safe for him to close this game.
Nice.
The Journal also picks the AL to win, 5 runs to 4.1.

Considering Mariano Rivera has blown bigger games on bigger stages, I eagerly await the WSJ to write about that.
How shocked would that guy be to learn that Broxton actually has a save in the NLCS?
All-Star Save for Jonathan Broxton
Screw you, Wall Street Journal!
