Sunday Night

Not a great day yesterday, (-165 units) and I didn't get up in time to do any research, but I do like the Under of 10.5 in the Red Sox-Yankees game.  Yankees are less potent vs LHP, and the Sox starter Jon Lester pitched a CG shutout last time he faced the Bombers.  The weather for the game might be a little shaky, possibly affecting the ability to score runs.  The ball won't carry as well, and a wet batters box is not ideal for hitting.  With the potential of Manny Rameriz to be out of the lineup again, coupled with the fact that Ortiz is still returning to form coming off his injury, makes me more confident in this pick.  Even Sidney Ponson has decent road numbers.  Remember a 6-4 game would still play under this high total.  I like both teams bullpens to hold the offenses in check, if the starters turn it over to them in a low-scoring one.

More picks tomorrow.
