While the numbers in many categories suggest you
should take the Red Sox tonight, leaning more
towards the Yankees. New York has overcome Boston's
two best pitchers, and that must be having a demoralizing
effect on the home team. Kevin Brown can be as dominating
as any pitcher in the majors, and his last start against the
Twins in the Metrodome was a gem. Arroyo has an ERA at
Fenway close to 5.00 and is under tremendous pressure with
his team facing virtual elmination. Rivera looked unhittable in
the first two games, so it's hard to pass up the surging visitor
when posted as a fairly significant underdog
