Anyone like the over in this game? Santana sports a stellar 5.73 career ERA in 3 games against Boston and Matsuzaka only has 1 game against LA but got rocked for a 10+ ERA.

Can see the logic you have here and I tend to agree. Santana is a different pitcher than he was when the Sox compliled those numbers, and Dice we only have one sample size...but I do see your point.
Especially with a shaky Sox pen...I do like the play. I'm on LAA -130 and maybe will add the over as well. I do expect Dice to hit up a bit even with Vlad's usual awful post season appearances.Comment -
Sox/Angels: I am feeling the over in this as well,
both teams came out yesterday with some good pitching and scored 7 just under the posted 8 for a big fat vinner for me.
The two starters tonight are not near as consistent numbers wise and both teams bats should wake up even more in game two.
Just a hunch...
Currently 25-15 in my last 40 for MLB

I'd rather do Red Sox than the Over. Santana's ERA may not reflect in his performance tonight. Dice-K has been awesome on the road, going 9-0 (2.37 ERA). With Santana's 5-5 (4.03 ERA) home record, I'd take a chance with the team with the better playoff experience.Comment -
Not a bad call either....If i was to pick a pitcher in that game, i will lean toward, Dice. He is due for a stand out game. I will be laying on the sox +120. GL my friend.
** Beckett is going to be up and getting some work in the pen today, might bring a little more life/excitement back into the team....teams always want to give their ace a chance to pitch, i know that really dosen't mean much, all teams want to win, just a little nugget speaking from personal experience...
9-1 in in playoff games this year....

The over is an obviuos pick. I look to see Pappi and Youk to have a big game, plus Vlad is ready to unload and DiceK has seemed to hang alot of balls lately.
2+ Units on OVERComment -
I wouldnt say the over is OBVIOUS with dice-k and santana on the mound. But I lean the over as well."This is why my basketball intelligence is unmatched on this site. I'm sure there are better cappers but no one can tell you the strategies of most coaches before the game even starts "

dice-k gave up more than usual in last years playoffs
santana's had most of his quality starts vs lowly division opponents sea and oakland
going over 4 for the first fiveComment -
most definitely...i was going to ask the same thing and start a thread if anyone else thought vegas' total line was a bit low....i think the bats come out tonight for both teams a bit over is the play
