Been going through a lot of threads trying to get everyone's opinion and while doing so I realized that I really was missing something trying to get a feel for which team was going to win. Tonight, we have a total set at 7.5 in Yankees stadium. I realize all the post-season success that each pitcher has had. There are a few factors in this game... the health of Andy Pettitte, how well Cliff throws, and Angel Hernandez. In my opinion, Andy is probably pretty healthy but I don't think we are going to see him completely shut down a Texas Rangers team tonight. Texas has a few players with very good numbers against Andy. Secondly, are the Yanks just going to flop and not score? I highly doubt it, the Yanks are known for keeping a game close and I think they will make Cliff battle a bit more than he has done in the past few games. If the Yankees can even get a couple off of Lee and get to the bullpen somewhat early that is going to lead to even more runs. I just think this total is way too low for the wind blowing out 8mph to centerfield. Lastly, Angel Hernandez is the only umpire in the major leagues that has consistently called Pettitte for a balk in his time, and that alone can get to the head of a pitcher with a man on first base. In my opinion, tonight's play is the over.
Good Luck
P.S. Under 2.5 Homeruns -150 is screaming sucker bet tonight!!!
