Chicago -1.5 -117 over Florida
Prior/Penny
Chicago is in a must-win situation. They do not want to be down 2-0 going into Florida where the Fish swim, er, play well. Prior is just the man to do the job. Concerned about a -1.5 RL at home? Penny has a 4.77 ERA on the road while Prior has a 2.69 home ERA and the Cubs have the motivation.
Yanks -1.5 +102 over Boston
Mussina/Wakefield
The advantage goes to the Bronx Bombers not only because of Mussina but because they are playing in a groove. The Yanks were beat at home in the first playoff game against the Twins but Wakefield is no Santana. Another home team with a -1.5 RL? Boston's bullpen will make sure that the Yanks cover.
Boston at NY UNDER 9.0 -119
Even with Boston's bad bullpen (Kim will not be pitching tonight) this line is too high. Wakefield and Mussina will not allow the first few innings to have much of a score.
