It's an interesting choice. I thought it would be sheets easy.

Against Lefties, McCullers is pretty much a curveball only pitcher. While Sheets has cranked a few curveballs and has decent Slugging, he ha k'd 33% of the time on them.

Against Righties, McCullers is Sinker/Slider. Vaughn has crushed sinkers, his best pitch (4 seam fb has better expected stats however). 

But vaughn has been terrible vs sliders. And McCullers never seems to have problems just loading hitters with their weaknesses.

Grandal has a good chance to be a hero.

There was an Athletic article the other day one "Why your team might win and why they might lose" and the Sox might lose because they won the division in June and have been on cruise control. 

 

I like those odds
