BOSTON (Beckett) -140 over CLEVELAND (Byrd)
Considering how well Josh Beckett has performed
since joining the Red Sox (+$175, 2.54 ERA in four
starts), consider this price to be quite a.bargain.
Paul Byrd, on the other hand, has not fared well as a
member of the Tribe, posting a 9.16 ERA in his first
four outings. That's particularly bad news when taking
on a first place team with a 9-4 (+$415) record against
righthanders, averaging 5.6 runs per game in those
contests. The visitor has the firepower to beat up on a
journeyman pitcher who's off to a terrible start.
