I'm going with the Red Sox tonight.

I can't ever pull the trigger on Clemens, I'm on the home team.

Boston. Clemens does at times seem superhuman, pitching well when you think he's done for, but he's not in good shape right now. He has ligament damage in his pitching elbow, that spells trouble. Once he gets up over 30 or 40 pitches I think he's going to give up a big inning if it doesn't happen before that. Schilling looks like he's pretty stable and solid right now.

Schilling (8-7, 3.93) also is known for pitching through pain, but missed six weeks from June 19-Aug. 5 due to right shoulder tendinitis. He seems to be rounding into form heading into the playoffs, posting a 2.52 ERA in his last four starts despite losing two of three decisions.

The 40-year-old right-hander was outpitched by Scott Kazmir in a 1-0 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday, allowing the one run and five hits through six innings. It marked the second time in his last three starts that the Red Sox were shut out.

Schilling is winless in four starts this year against New York, going 0-2 with a 5.76 ERA. He's had the most trouble with Derek Jeter, who is 7-for-12 against him this year, and Robinson Cano, who's 5-for-11.

It seems these two pitchers are going in opposite directions health-wise. I'm going to play Boston big in this one.

Don't sweat it, I'm happy to have Boston at even money at this point. A blowout would have been great but I still think Boston is a significantly better than 50% shot to win this one.
