Red Sox / Yankees

I was going to post my thoughts on the possible outcomes from this weekend's series but Lyford does a much better job in detail.

Tonight David Wells goes for the Red Sox vs. Chien-Ming Wang of the Yankees. The Bookies have Wells as a -$118 to -$102 favorite (meaning you would have to bet $118 to win $100 on the Red Sox). This is about even in betting terms. This year Wells has been huge (literally and figuratively) at Fenway. He's gone 7-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 11 starts. In his last start against the Yankees - Wells went 7 innings giving up just 1 run. Wang is OK on the road - going 3-2 with a 4.74 ERA in 7 road starts but he is a rookie and the Red Sox have faced him before.

I don't bet on the Red Sox but Wells looks to be a best bet tonight.
