PyRo's MLB...Boston @ Cleveland Play

PyRoCaPPer · Jul 25, 2007

Record is somewhere around +40 units for the year. Haven't played anything in a while, but one sticks out to me tonight...

1* Red Sox/Indians Over 9 +1.00

Just like the Yanks vs. Indians, these two teams are capable of matching each other run for run. I was expecting to see about 8.5 for this line, but gonna have to settle for 9. I expect Carmona to get hit around tonight and Boston to score alot. I think Hafner has a good game with 2 or 3 RBI's. Ortiz back in the lineup for Boston also. B-E-Autiful night for baseball in Cleveland, I'll be hoping the ball travels well this evening.

Forgot to add another point. Me and Prodigy had a discussion a few weeks back. Cleveland hits power pitchers much better than soft tossers.

gut feeling says cleveland on the runline might be the way to go here. i think there is a realistic shot they win by 2 or 3 runs and cash in at nearly (+200). total seems a little tough. carmona has been absolutely lights out at home this year, save for what i consider to be an aberration against oakland. otherwise, teams havent been touching him. he's also outpitched johan santana twice this year so i dont expect him to be intimidated by taking the mound against beckett. im starting to think carmona is the indians best pitcher regardless of what numbers say. sabathia seems to lack consistency and his focus goes in and out. opposing teams have been raving about carmona all season. its gotten to the point where he's the only pitcher im comfortable laying chalk with for the indians.

Only thing that scares me here with my over is Carmona's sinker. If he has it down in the zone tonight, it's going to be a lonnggg night for Boston's bats as they hit into the 2nd MOST doubles plays in the league, not good when facing a sinkerball. Definitely lean to Indians in a shoot out here.

Also, they hit a few balls to the track last night that should carry out tonight....hopefully.
