LAA Angels vs. Boston Red Sox (MLB) - Apr 22, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Play: Point Spread: -1.5/121 Boston Red Sox Pick Title:
Game: Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox Game Time: 4/22/2008 7:05:00 PM Prediction: Boston Red Sox Reason: Josh Beckett the ace of the Red Sox staff, started his season a little slowly , after being on the disabled list, but is now shaping into to form, delivering 16 strikeouts over his L/ 19 1/3 innings work , while holding opposition batters to a .200 average. I expect Beckett will continue his upward momentum and be hard on a inconsistent LA Angels offense that he has performed well against in the past, as is evident by a 3-0 record and 1.59 ERA in five appearances in this series, striking out 30 batters in the process. Final notes & Key Trends: Becket when he starts has seen his team win 16 of 20 , against a above .500 opponents like the Angels .
