welcome back everyone I'm here again with Jeff grant SBR contributor and today
we're going to be looking at that MLB game between the Red Sox and the Yankees
But first off, how you doing this morning my man?
doing great Dax. This is one of the final games of this historic rivalry with
shortstop derrick jeeter so a lot of sports bettors will be interested
and wagering on this contest. No doubt my man now, the Red Sox they are clearly
looking to mess up with the Yankees a postseason aspirations and they do want
to close out their 10-game Road trip
with a winning record now Jeff do you think the lineup will be limited
since they're actually facing a left-handed starter Thursday night?
You know Dax, I was initially looking to fade the Red Sox in this spot
and due to the fact that they are fishing out that long road trip but
they've actually had pretty good success
in closing out road trips the final game believe they have a 7-3 record in that
situation
and yeah they have been limited against left-handed starters and it's been a bit
surprising especially
since the beginning of August a since they were acquired cesspit this from the
Athletics
and also Allen Craig a right-handed hitter from the St Louis Cardinals
they've gone under the total in all five games against left-handers with
in the lineup
so definitely Red Sox should be limited in this one offensively
Now Jeff, the Bronx Bombers are gonna be playing 15 of their final 25 games at
home but what needs to happen for this proud franchise to chase down the Tigers
in the Mariners
in the AL wild-card race. The Yankees
need to have all the free agent acquisitions come together
and really play their best baseball this season and you're starting to see that
last night the Yankees pulled off the victory in the second game in the series
and the real story was Brian McCann the catcher
Who they acquired as one of the biggest free-agent acquisitions from the Atlanta
Braves during the offseason
he's kinda got an hot Jacoby Ellsbury seems to get
have gone past a recent lower body injury
so that's really the key for the Yankees and of course this entire club
house once they rally around Derek Jeter
because they want to reach the postseason in this final game as an MLB
player
not on a man now on the Red Sox we know that their ranking in last in the
American League in runs scored
now designated hitter big Bobby David Ortiz is he just 196 against the Yankees
in 2014
now could this be an indicator that the betting total might be falling short in
this series finale
without a doubt tax a night with I would be surprised if actually
David Ortiz played in this game because
up the fact that the Red Sox are closing out a 10-game Road trip
with that being said is probably gonna ask to land in the lineup because it is
against the Yankees
but he'll be facing left-handed pitcher Inc risk at 10 who should be able to
limit and
and also I mentioned already cesspit is incredibly
just aren't getting it done against southpaw starters right man so
taking that into account we gonna give a lean-to in this case you know what I'd
love to take the eighties and the spot
but I just think the price is a little too high
I'm you can take the Red Sox here because their two starting pitchers in a
seven-game losing streak and I think he
and is definite paid material if the Red Sox keep him in the rotation for the
rest the 2014 campaign
so I'm gonna go under the total here the Red Sox 93 in 12 the under
in their last 13 Road games against left-handed starters
