Yankees vs. Red Sox MLB Free Pick

Alex Smart Sports
New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox (MLB) - Apr 12, 2008 3:55 PM EDT
Play: Total: 9.5/-103 Under Pick

Johan Santana has pitched well for the New York Mets in his first couple of starts, going 7 innings each time, garnering a stingy 1.93 ERA, while Ben Sheets has been excellent for the Milwaukee Brewers. The two aces go head to head here today, but Im predicting , that home field advantage will be the difference maker. It must be noted that Sheets has not fared all that well against the Mets in the recent past, recording a hefty 5.45 ERA in 6 career starts in this series. While Santana is 3-1 vs the Brewers , along with a stable 3.09 ERA. Final notes & Key Trends: Brewers are 8-20 in Sheets' last 28 starts as an underdog. The Brewers are 3-16 against the money line on the road when the total is 7.5 or less. Santana team when he starts is 24-4 against the money line after a game where he did not walk a batter (which happened in his most recent start).
