Baseball Picks - October 14, 2008
We suffered an 0-3 setback last night. We look to rebound with two picks in tonight's ALCS game.
Today's MLB Baseball Picks:
Game: Tampa Bay at Boston (8:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Boston -144 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.1)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 9 +100 (risk 3 to win 3)
The Red Sox have now dropped two straight games and trail the series to the Rays 2-1. This is a huge game for Boston, especially at home and a loss would be devastating. They will send Tampa killer Tim Wakefield to the mound who owns a 19-5 lifetime record over the Rays. He will backed by the best postseason closer this side of Mariano Rivera in Jonathon Papelbon, who if need be will be summoned for a two-inning close, considering the magnitude and significance of this game. The Rays will counter with Andy Sonnanstine who has pitched well this season, but his career numbers against the Boston are not very good. Boston is 31-11 this season as a home favorite of -125 to -175. I will back the BoSox here and also play the UNDER, as the UNDER is backed by an LCS situation that has produced 67% UNDERS that is live for this game.
