Yanks/Rangers over 7.5 +108 (5d)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Sorry this is so late. I?ve been waiting on this one to make sure there was no heavy wind blowing in. But there appears to be a significant wind blowing out to right. Which only can help.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Everyone hears the names Lee and Pettitte and automatically think under. But 7.5 is a very low number for these two teams. Very good offenses and I don?t expect either pitcher to be at his best. <o></o>

Cliff Lee owns the Yanks, or that is the perception since he beat them twice in the WS last year and shut them down last month in Texas. Lee has proved he can pitch on the road as he dominated the Rays twice last week. But he threw 120 pitches in the clincher, and although he is on an extra day?s rest, that?s still a lot. His highest pitch total of the year. I expect him to throw well, but he?s not going to shut the Yanks out at home, and off 120 pitches can he really go more than 7 innings? The texas bullpen has proven that they are not up to the task in this series, so I expect the Yanks to get their share.<o></o>
<o> </o>
OTOH is Andy Pettitte. He?s on 11 days rest, and we saw how that affected CC and Hughes. He?s had one decent start since July. And the Rangers are playing very well offensively right now, having gotten to 5 in each of the first two games. Without a stiff wind blowing in, why wouldn?t they get the same number (at least) against Pettitte? <o></o>
<o> </o>
Tonight?s umpire Jim Reynolds is a very strong over umpire. So we?ve got a pair of very good offensive teams, one pitcher facing one of the best home offenses in baseball (Yanks averaging over 5 runs per game at home), another pitcher on 11 days rest facing a good offense, a good offensive ballpark, an ?over? umpire, and the wind blowing out. And they put up a very low total and am giving me plus money. <o></o>
