2-2, but the larger play won, so it was a pretty decent day. The last couple Sundays have had weak cards, and tomorrow is no exception. It's basically an off day for me, as I won't even be watching the game or paying attention to the score, but I do think this is worth playing.
Light:
Red Sox (Matsuzaka) Devil Rays (Kaz Dog) Under 8.5 -102
With respect to Beckett and Shields, these are aces of these staffs, and they should show it here. The Red Sox have been very mediocre on the road against lefties, and quality pitchers have given them problems most of the year. Kazmir has always been very good at home, his career numbers against Boston are awesome, and he owns the individual Red Sox hitters. Matsuzaka has been very good on the road this season, and he’s been fantastic against mediocre and bad lineups. The Rays trading bats for bullpen arms will only help.
