FYI,

Some will waste more money today on the Red Sox thinking they'll bounce back. The Rays will ride on the momentum of yesterday's victory (whether it was earned or not) to win again today.

Rays +134
Rays/Red Sox 2H Over 3.5 (+110)

Wilforth, is right Red Sox will lose this game and the series, way to much money was put on the Red Sox to win this series! Rays 25k +130

Kary,

You warned us all before hand. This current wave of curious losses began on Sunday with the NE Patriots, then the Red Sox and the NY Giants played from the same book on Monday. These things happen now and again but people pass them up as "upsets".

pretty early for the best bets thread to turn into crazies... anyways.

tampa bay +135 2.5 units

[tab]

Redsox/Rays over 9
Redsox team total over 5 (+135)

this game is going way over the total. This will be a lot like game 2. I get the feeling that SOnanstine is going to do the same thing Lester did in game 3. sonnanstine has dominated the redsox in his last 2 starts in sept. Sonanstine pitched 6 innings allowing 3 hits and a run on sept 16. He pitched 7 innings allowing 4 hits and a run on sept 10. These numbers remind me a lot of how Lester dominated the Rays in 3 regular season starts at fenway. I think that Sonanstine is going to get hammered by a pissed off redsox team. Vegas put the team total over/under at 5 runs. Most betters would be afraid to take the team total over 5 runs. Based upon Sonanstine's stats against the redsox this year, the team total should have been set at 4.5 runs. TB manager and sonanstine probably met the same two men that lester and his manager met. I would not be surprised that TB and sonanstine throw this game to make sure that a game 7 happens in this series.

The redsox win and score a lot of runs in this fix game to extend the series to 7 games. This would be better for vegas and tv ratings. I would not bet on TB because game 3 would entice gamblers to bet on the rays. Tampa Bay backers be careful this is a fixed game to extend the series to 7 games.

tb.bosox over 9 -110 cx 10
rays+135 x 10

[darrell74]

Rays +135 3 units

Why?

Wakefield gets touched up for 6, by the Rays, 17Sep
Timmy is 0-2 in 3 starts vs. TB

Sonnanstine in last 2 vs. Bosox has 0 er in 13 innings
but no decisions

Starting Wakefield seem a little desparate,
It might work to have a knuckleballer get to the Rays
Rays haven't seen a knucleballer in the post-season
Might surprise Rays

However I say Sonnanstine paints corners,
gives up 2-3 runs
but Rays bats are better
Rays shelled Wakefield on 17SEP

I kinda think this is a steal, getting the Rays as a dog
I'll wait till gametime to see if I can get more value on the money line

[Buckeye]

The Rays will win this series. They are the better team with more youth and beaming with confidence. Take the Rays and the over today.

[POTVINSUX]

BOSTON (-139) 1u.

-All lines from bodog

-Bosox finally get to Sonnanstine

Not sure if the link below has any value. I could definetely see I knuckleball moving less or being harding to throw in the cold. Anyone know Wakefield's numbers in October?
