yankees series vs. sox= sucker bet?

[sickeric]

estimating it will be around NY +100 to -105..... have Boston not hitting the ball and starting arguably the worst 3 starters in rotation versus Hughes, Nova and then Sabathia in game 3.

tempting to go with NY Yankees but mostly likely will take a pass.

any thoughts or opinions?

If Bostons bat weren't so cold I'd be on the OVER. Hughes is having velocity issues and pitching in a hitters park, could be trouble today.

[Buried_PIRATE]

who knows the over might actually be the best bet despite the cold bats?

[mann2chc]

I dont care how cold the sox bats are... These teams just dont like each other... This game should go over by the 6 inning with these dudes on the mound today and these bullpens wont help either... GL!!!

[unusialsusp5]

it probably will go over but it will happen late....as far as a series bet goes you would think ny could manage 2 out of 3 in this spot...might be best play of weekend to do that....

lackey could get rocked but buchholtz is the red sox 2nd best slightly after lester, and beckett is a coin flip.but so are nova and hughes. have a feeling sox take 2 of 3

Would not be surprised to see Boston 0-7 after today.

I'm on the Over 10 myself for Game 1 of this series..

As for who wins this series, its a toss up IMO. Clearly 0-6 doesn't reflect the Red Socks team and they could blow up any given afternoon/night. Boston should beable to hit Hughes today, and hit him hard. I expect a somewhat of a high scoring game.

[spippen]

I could see Lackey having trouble getting out of the first.

Value is with the Yankees. +130 ML against a 0-6 team? The line is based on Boston's reputation and the fact that they are playing at home.

[thejrichshow85]

really like the over here

[Snowball]

Yankees. I like it.

Yes, thats obvious. The Red Socks are supposed to have 3-4 wins already which the way the books have priced them early this year, except their laying a goose egg. A lot of value on the Yankees who have proven that they can win this year against a team that hasn't. But that "Boston is due to win" factor makes them favored here.

Play the Over 10 and thats it.

Would not be surprised to see Boston 0-7 after today.

Would not be surprised to see Boston 0-9 after this series.

[denn333]

Why play a team that is playing poorly ? Red Sox lose again.

[denn333]

They lost 6 in a row, they are due to win. Always sound logic......

i was reccomended by a great capper to play boston. i consider myself a pretty good capper w a 26-10-1 record in mlb this season. im going yankees, plenty of value as dog today.
