Yankees / Red Sox under 9.5 @ Even money-.....(If you wait, you may be able to get 10)........Two top pitchers coming in with decent numbers against this opponent.
In game one, Mussina gave up 4 er but only 4 hits in 6.2 innings. In late September, Mussina faced Boston twice giving up just 4 er over 13 innings.
In game 2, Martinez gave up 3 er in 6 innings on just 4 hits. The home crowd will be on their feet with every Martinez pitch tonight.
Both had their normal days off with Mussina pitching today off 5 days rest and Martinez off 4 days thanks to the Friday night rainout.
Houston Astros + 1.5 runs -120...(Williams -vs- Backe)...........Plenty of value here getting runs at a short price on Houston who has won 20 of last 21 home games. Houston has momentum on their side after winning last 2 including coming from behind yesterday.
Cardinals / Astros over 10.5 @ -110 (Williams -vs- Backe).....................Both teams have hot bats and both pitchers are vey hitable. Cards' Williams has an 8.40 era and 1.67 whip over his last 3 starts.
Good Luck
