Under Alert: BoSox/Yanks U10.5
We know a line like 10.5 may be a trap to bet the under, but the money keeps coming in to sustain this high number. I sure didn't feel trapped when I placed my bet.
I can't guarantee the bats won't come out raking against Pettite and Penny, but this series is so crucial for both teams, I think runs will be earned in smaller quantities in the opening game. Sure, one of the veteran pitchers might give up a run or two early, but I believe they'll both buckle down and work through the middle innings in a tight game. Both bullpens are solid, which will help my cause.
I'm actually betting the Sox ML here, which means I think Brad Penny will manage to give up hits without giving up five runs. I think Andy Pettite will put in a signature game, keeping the Yankees competitive, but the Sox are feeling very confident as they are finally getting healthy again. The home crowd will help spur them on.
I envision something like a 6-3 Boston win, keeping the home winning streak alive for at least one more game and helping me cash twice on this game.
I'm 3-1 with my O/U alerts and hope to take it to 4-1 after tonight.
