ALDS A or B?
The question was going around on which teams will play in which AL Division Series. Apparently the AL team finishing with the best record gets to pick whether they play in series A or series B.
The importance is that in series B, a team can use three pitchers on regular rest, as there is an extra rest day. For series A this cannot be accomplished.

Re: ALDS A or B?
I imagine whoever faces the Yankees will want to force the Yanks to use four starters given the Yanks' pitching woes.

Re: ALDS A or B?
Here are my best guesses for 2nd and 4th starters of each team, and their relative strength (2 vs 2, 4 vs 4)
CLE - Carmona(2) Byrd(3)
BOS - Schilling(4) Wakefield(1)
NYY - Pettite(3) Clemens/Hughes?(2)
ANA - Escobar(1) Santana?(4)
I think BOS would prefer Wakefield vs Byrd rather than Schilling (or Matsuzaka) vs Carmona. Still the difference is minor, and on any given day a pitcher can be on or off (e.g. Byrd has done well in the postseason).
