No Hassles, No Hype Sports Picks

The NFL winning sports picks starts to tonight as we kick of the NFLX in style looking for a W to open the NFLX season. In the mean time we will take a look at the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Sunday Night Game.

The Yankees evened up the four game series with a 5 – 2 win yesterday and will send A.J. Burnett to face Boston’s Josh Beckett. Neither pitcher should be excited to see the other side this evening as both have struggled against tonight’s opponent. Beckett ha returned from the DL in fine form and in 3 start allowed 3 runs in one game and just 1 run in the other two starts. He has a whopping 18 strikeouts in the 3 starts to just 4 walks covering 22.2 innings, We will see if that run can continue tonight as he faces the team he has struggled against this season, In his last 4 starts against the Yankees he has allowed runs of 5, 9, 5 and 8 runs.

Burnett is either on or off and entered his last start on fire throwing back-to-back shutouts before getting hammered by Toronto lasting just 4.2 innings allowing 8 earned runs. Burnett might not be happy to see the Red Sox as in his last 6 starts he has allowed runs of 9, 4, 9, 0, 5 and 8 runs. This year he is 0 - 1 with an ERA of 10.61 against Boston and the Red Sox have batted .381 against him so far.

While we will leave the side alone we definitely favor an over play here in this one.
