Boston and Cleveland still the teams to beat?

Hands down the best two teams in baseball last year. I don't see any difference this year. Tiger fans are kidding themselves if they think they can match pitching with Boston or Cleveland. Adding Cabrera doesn't win in October-or get you there-and I don't fear Willis. Boston has a crop of young arms that could pose a serious threat for years to come. Cleveland is locked and loaded for years to come as well. Bosox season will rest on what Dice-K can do his second year and a healthy Beckett-the pen is solid. Cleveland won 90 games 2 years ago and 96 last year-no fluke-young and getting better every year-won 96 games with key guys having TERRIBLE years-that's scary. New York doesn't have the arms to compete with LAA, Boston or Cleveland. Tigers don't either-Verlander is their guy-and he gets out dueled everytime he faces Cleveland-Boston or LAA, fact. They have a shaky at best pen too. How can Boston and Cleveland not be faves going into the 2008 season? Pitching wins titles.
