MLB Friday

Friday already? This week went by in nothing flat. It must of been tax deadline and standard American tax paying rule, if you must pay wait till last minute.

I'm picking my spots right now and things are looking up.
Boston with Wakefield drops a rare one against the D-Rays and Kaz.
Today the Red Sox will be in Toronto with their big Texan Beckett and Jays will counter with ex-Florida team mate Burnett. Given these two pitchers I like Beckett's stuff better. Boston gets pretty good price here with Jays taking the first series at Boston and good match up history, but I wouldn't go against Red Sox with Schilling, Wakefield and Beckett on the mound. Both are fire ballers, but AJ gets hurt, he was hurt in the Spring and sidelined, so he's behind regular season form. Though American League batters have not seen much of ex-Natinal League pitchers Burnett and Beckett, Beckett pitched against Toronto in Boston home opener, Red Sox has the better line up to contact hard throwing righty. Beckett has set the tone and making progress for early season where as AJ needs few more outings. Red Sox playing their best game on the road (5-1) with top of the line up hitting well.
Under looks tempting here, but my take for this match will be the first 5 innings.

BOS PK First 5 innings -113 for 2 units(W)

Red Sox was up after the first 5 innings and that's what I was backing.
1-0 +2.00 units
