    Yankees +125?

    That's about as big of a dog as the Yankees ever are. I can't remember seeing them as that big a dog but I don't follow baseball that much.

    How big of a favorite would Boston be if the line was totally fair and there was no skewing the line for the Yankees?

    Yanks now +135 @ Matchy.

    Burnett is a more of a Jekyll & Hyde pitcher than most. Any spring training scouting on him skewing this line perhaps?

    Pretty sure Burnetts ERA at Fenway as a Yankee is somewhere around 13

    Yeah Burnett is brutal at Fenway so I'd be careful with the Yanks...

    Not betting it, but making the play as a contest pick for Boston to win.

    I would take the Yanks EVERY SINGLE TIME they are in the +125 to +135 range. Doesn't matter home/away, pitching matchup, etc. With a lineup as potent as New York's, there is always going to be value at this price, especially with AJ throwing. Sure he's had his struggles at Fenway as a Yank, but the body of work is so quanitatively small, that it can't carry too much merit.

    here's an interesting stat, in 2009 the yankee's went a crappy 2-5 when vegas odds were between +120 and +140.

    Burnett era at Fenway as a Yankee is 14.7... I know we don't like to think that there is anyway yankees start 0-2 but this is a no play guys. Lester had done very well this spring, don't have his exact numbers in front of me.

    Harry that yankee bullpen has to find some identity, they're going to be rough early on. This game will be high scoring take the O of 9.5.

    Burnett is so hot and cold. You can never tell when he's going to pitch well or shit the bed.

    while the yankees obviously have the ability to outhit anyone if burnett does terrible tonite like his stats vs boston last year suggest he does i believe the play in this game is the over and id stay away from picking a team but i believe the redsox will win tonite

    Not to say "I told you so" but guys in order to win in MLB, you have to look beyond the starting pitcher! To get the Yanks at +132 with their potent offense had value written ALL over it. Congrats to all who cashed this value bet
