NY YANKEES (SERIES) - 200 VS BOSTON 1.5 UNITS
This series just doesn't set up well for Boston...They will likely only have Pedro Martinez starting one of the first six games...Derek Lowe, who has been strong at home and has a 5.80 ERA on the road, is set up to start twice in New York...Tim Wakefield and John Burkett are scheduled to start three of the first five games...Leadoff man Johnny Damon is a question mark, and his absence will hurt the speed and defense...All four Yankee starting pitchers were on vs Minnesota, as they look to redeem themselves for last year's playoff failure...Mariano Rivera is on top of his game for the past month, and Boston still doesn't have an established closer...A Red Sox win here would be a major upset.
NY YANKEES / BOST (GAME ONE) UNDER 9 - 120
1.0 UNITS
Mike Mussina was the only Yankee starter to lose in the first round, and should be primed for a strong game here...Despite winning in four games vs Minnesota, New York averaged just 4.0 runs per game.
CHI CUBS / FLA UNDER 7.5 + 100 1.0 UNITS
Mark Prior appears to be a superb pressure pitchers, and would look for him to come up big tonight vs Florida righthanded lineup...Brad Penny is a talented pitcher who should fare better vs Cub lineup than Josh Beckett did last night..
