Very nice spot to make a play on a rather fat dog +150
Wakefield is the Red Sox ace this year, maybe that's not a good thing. But he's been able to assemble some gems with his funkball, & nearly shut out the Yanks on 9/11.
I expect both pitchers to be bringing A-game playoff time nastiness. With exception of closer, both sides are evenly matched & either pitcher can win this. So getting the extra loot on a win is a great deal with World Series Champs in Fenway.
The Yanks need to win this game more than the Sox. If the Yanks lose, they will be hard pressed to win tomorrow with a questionable Mike Mussina taking the mound. Shilly's come around & his playoff face will be on. Yanks best chance is that Wakefield is 1-3 against them this year. This & unit's momentum makes expectations lean on a Yankee victory today.
But expectations are not generally met in this matchup, so that makes the Sox at home with their wiley veteran a good value. Sox know if they win this pivotal game, they got a big edge to win the division.
This Yankee team lacks the clutch mentality of the dynasty squad. A-Rod's been pretty but he lets down over & over in the clutch. Unit has been coming through for much of the season, but he too has let down. Unit's big vulnerability this year has been the LONG BALL, something to keep in mind if your money's on the Yanks today. TODAY IT IS ALL ON THE LINE FOR THE YANKS & THIS GAME DEFINES THEIR YEAR. so i expect a letdown, something they have been doing all season.
If the Yanks should win this play, double down on the Sox tomorrow. The curse is reversed & Sox are gonna put the Spanks away this weekend. Sorry to say it but the Sox got the Yanks number now. I hope not.
