FINAL REG. SEASON STATS *** 173-142-4 +$4874.00 ***
2 WORLD SERIES FUTURE BETS:
CWS +799
ATLANTA +818
First off , let me say I feel THE WRONG TEAM IS FAVORED in this series !!! That's right, this coming from a guy who grew up 15 miles from Fenway and suffered thru '67,'75,'78,'86 and finally found redemption last year, I really think CHI is a team better suited for playoff baseball this year !!!!
Playoff baseball is not home runs and 10-6 wins, it's all about pitching and defense . Well, looking at the pitching match-ups, this is def a HUGE advantage for CHI !! Contreras possibly twice, w/ Garland, Buehrle, and Garcia in between , spells big trouble for BOS who counter with Clement, Arroyo, Wakefield and Wells (if he can find time to get out of that n/l game he's always in on POKERSTARS!!) BOS has nothing dependable after Timlin in the BP and Ozzie has Hermanson and a couple of good looking kids.
The big knock on CHI is they don't score enough runs, but they CAN manufacture runs , and w/ Konerko in that lineup they can play long ball too.
I just feel that the WS have better pitching all the way around and can score enough to win under a manager who has some balls , and can manage a staff well ..................
my pick ...............CWS +135 (OLY)
