round 1: 3-3 -0.83 units
nothing impressive 1st round. surprised i didn't lose more.
Series:
Red Sux -165 x 4
Diamondbacks +124 x 4
Not much to say about the Red Sux. They will be able to handle Byrd much easier than the Yankees did. CC is only 2-4 lifetime vs. red sox with close to a 4 era which isn't terrible, but nothing to shut them down and Fausto is 1-2 with a 5 era. These two would have to pitch lights out to get the series win and although capable, I think its asking a little too much. Although the Yankees have more star power than the Red Sux the Red Sux lead the league in pitches per at bat. They will get to the Cleveland bullpen. Ask yourself this, would you rather have Papelbon in, or Borowski.
As for the D-backs, I along with everyone else have been scratching my head all year. Can't figure out how they win. But they do and they win every close game. Both teams are young, and Colorado might have more pop, but Arizona does the little things right. I wouldn't have made this play if they started play earlier in the week, but the only thing that can kill a streak of 17 out of 18 or whatever it is, is time off. Too much time off. I'll take the better pitchers over the arguably better bats.
Game 1:
Az (webb) -1.5 + 180 x 2
