Bat Wars: Joba Gets a Chubby (ERA)

May the force be with all of us as we call it another fine day of sports wagering.

Tonight I like the Red Sox +147 and also a small play on the over 8.5 (-125).

I understand that Wakefield has been hit well and beaten soundly by the Yankees over the last two seasons, but Timmy has been pitching well...and, conversely, Joba is coming off a poor start to face the Red Sox for the first time.  The Evil Empire barely escaped last night, but this evening will be different.

I know that the umpire tonight favors the under, but something about the Sunday night game seems to always add a few runs to the affair.  The phenomenon called "I'm on TV!  I'm on TV!" appears to carry over to each team, especially the rookies and lesser known players, so each ball player is geeked to score.  Plus, the Red Sox bullpen ERA is over 8.00

Ump is Laz Diaz.  9-8 to the under, averaging 9 runs/game.  Not exactly "favoring the under."
