How great is it that you can have Vegas pay you the juice when making sports picks in MLB and NHL. If your not playing baseball your missing out on one of the best sports to handicap and build your bank roll. According to statistics and some trends this should be another Yankee win over their mainstay rivalry Boston, but that may not be the case or so easy tonight. The Boston Red Sox are playing over five hundred ball in their last eleven games and in their last four games as they have averaged seven point five runs per matchup. Boston’s designated hitter David Ortiz is definitely showing signs of coming out of his early season slump. Since May 1 Big Poppy has crushed the ball for three home runs along with five hits and four runs battered in with three bases on balls. Yankees starter right hander Phil Hughes has been nearly flawless this season only allowing four runs on just ten hits in twenty five innings of work. No pitcher can come in to Fenway Park thinking that he will continue his masterpiece pitching and we note Hughes is 0-2 lifetime versus Boston. The starter for Boston righty Josh Beckett definitely has revenge on his mind from his lackluster performance on opening day against these Yankees. Beckett’s lifetime versus the Yankees is 9-5.
