Couple of plays I like tonite. First of all, I don't see BOSOX bringing alot tonite after the huge comeback vs OAKLAND. Wakefield is shaky and MOOSE is well rested, but with the weather being so warm, his knuckler should be working well and that may give some of the YANKS trouble. However, it sometimes leads to walks also, and that could be disastrous. Either way, I can't see BOSTON winning game 1 tonite. BOSOX will have to depend on the deep ball without DAMON setting the table, and I don't see that happening vs MOOSE tonite. Neither team has played a game that's gone over 9 in their past 7, so I'm not expecting a ton of runs tonite. Yanks may be tight as they were vs MINNY in Game 1, but I don't see BOS taking advantage.
NYY -1.5 EVEN * Single Play *
Under 9 -120 ** DOUBLE PLAY **
Can't lay -260 even with PRIOR on the mound, but I don't see FLA hitting this guy either. PENNY has has some success vs CUBBIES so the batting stats from last nite will not prevail tonite. If any records are set tonite, it will be in pithcing, not hitting. I think this game will be tight, maybe 3-2 type game and am therefore playing it as follows:
FLA +1.5 +105 & Under 7.5 -115 ** Single Plays *
NYY -1.5 EVEN * Single Play *
Under 9 -120 ** DOUBLE PLAY **
