First posted picks, liking both today, but second pick just seems too easy. Especially since I seem to be going against the board. BOL to everyone.

TAMPA BAY +116
BOSTON -138

Stupid reason for betting Tampa, Longoria was just on Jim Rome and i'm 5-0 in the last two years betting on games with players on his show. Very silly I know.

I really really like Boston tonight though. Lester and the whole red sox team does NOT want this series going back to anaheim where they could easily lose control. Lester is the best on the staff right now and will lead his team to victory. Many other reasons I love this bet, but its almost a must win for Boston. They will not get swept at home in their first series, and they will not lose the series. This is not a historic angels team, just an inexperienced one making a little more impact then the cubs. Angels have much better pitching then the cubs, but that will only result in a 4 game series loss, instead of a sweep. Go with Boston tonight and ride Lester for the rest of the postseason.

Not liking the choices today.

And, Illusion, you're welcome. It was no trouble.

I've won $ doing that,in the past, betting on Jungle karma. But, A.J. Pierzynski was on, as well.

CWS -1 1/2 +160 2 units

Why?
Sonnanstine hasn't won a game since Mid-Aug
Floyd is a much better Pitcher

Sox have been moving the guys around better on the bases
Sox average almost 6 runs a game against righties at home

Floyd did alright in a win or go golf game against the kittens, last week.
Floyd can handle pressure

yisman · 10-06-08, 03:23 PM

no score in the 1st inning -145 x2

Monday, October 6, 2008 8:35 p.m. est.Los Angeles Angels (101-64) at Boston Red Sox (97-68)
(R) John Lackey (12-6, 3.71 ERA) vs. (L) Jon Lester (17-6, 3.11 ERA)
Boston leads 2-1
The Red Sox will send Jon Lester to the hill to get the job done. The southpaw is 5-1 with a 4.60 ERA in 14 starts at Fenway Park and the Red Sox have won 22 of Lester's last 26 starts at home. He allowed just one unearned run in Boston's 4-1 victory in Game 1 and is 1-1 with a 7.78 ERA in four regular-season career outings versus Boston. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has dropped five of John Lackey last 6 starts and 12 of the his last 15 versus the Red Sox., 2-7 in Lackey's last 9 against them on the road.
The Angels kept their hopes alive with a 12 inning, 5-4 victory in Game 3 for their six straight win at Fenway Park, but have struggle in playoff games, 1-9 in their last 10. Los Angeles will have a difficult undertaking against Boston’s lefty Jon Lester tonight. Go with the Red Sox at Fenway Park to reach the American League Championship Series.Boston Red Sox -130
