The World Series participants have been set as the St Louis Cardinals will travel for game 1 of the best of seven from Major League Baseball scheduled for Wednesday night. <br /> <br />First pitch from Fenway Park in Boston is scheduled for 8PM Eastern Time with national television coverage provided by FOX TV. <br /> <br />The World Series Game 1 odds have the home team Boston Red Sox favored by -119 odds with the return on the road underdog St Louis Cardinals at +119 odds. The run total is lined at 7 runs. <br /> <br />The Cardinals will start right hander Adam Wainwright in game one as he will oppose Red Sox left hander Jon Lester. Wainwright has a record of 19-9 with an ERA of 2.94. Wainwright has worked three post season games and allowed four earned runs and 17 hits over 25 innings. Lester is 15-8 on the 2013 campaign with an ERA of 3.75. Lester in three post season starts has given up five earned runs and 16 hits over 19 1/3rd innings. <br /> <br />Both teams have solid bullpen relievers who can protect leads late in the game so there may be few late inning heroics in this series. <br /> <br />St Louis enters the World Series after a 9-0 home victory in Game 6 of the NLCS last Friday night to the LA Dodgers as a +123 betting underdog. The game went over 5 ½ runs. Boston also advances in their Championship Series in 6 games as they defeat the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night 5-2 as a -105 home betting underdog. The total finished right at the closing line of seven runs.
