Re: Seems strange to be able to find boston +140 @ TB
Completely misleading stat in that the Rays were the worst team in baseball when Wake accumulated the majority of those wins. Wake's recent history against TB hasn't been nearly as kind -- 1-1, 9.00 ERA, 2.21 WHIP in his L3 against the Rays (TB's won 2/3, with the only Sox victory being a 16-10 game in which Wake allowed 7 R in 3 IP). Also, Boston's essentially playing with one capable reliever at the moment now that Okajima's morphed into the left-handed LaTroy Hawkins. Garza, meanwhile, is 4-1, 1.53, .82 in his L5 starts at the Trop.
TB's winning at least 2/3 in this series.

Re: Seems strange to be able to find boston +140 @ TB
It is not a completely misleading stat....and in his last 3 starts vs TB he was clobbered ONCE...TB has had a very good offense (actually it was better last yr) for the past 3 years or so.
we'll see....
Why didn't you list Garza's last start vs Boston? Oh thats right it wouldn't fit your theory.
Wakefield has allowed 10 ER his last 6 starts, all 7 innings or more.

Re: Seems strange to be able to find boston +140 @ TB
What theory? Just pointing out that it's not as simple as taking the Sox solely because of Wake's perceived dominance against the Rays when this is far from the same TB team.
Garza's last start against Boston came at Fenway. Maybe you're unaware of the fact the Sox as a team have hit .30 pts. lower and scored 1 full run per game less away from home over the past 2 seasons.
Even if you discount Wake's 3 inning, 7 R performance, he has still has a 1.91 WHIP in his L2 against the Rays.
Good luck.

Re: Seems strange to be able to find boston +140 @ TB
You said the Sox are the play Tuesday based on a completely skewed stat that holds absolutely no bearing on tomorrow's game and, if anything, is keeping the Rays from being the -130 they should be.
If you can't see the Sox are an average offense away from home and their reputation as an offensive juggernaut is entirely a result of playing 1/2 their games at Fenway, then I don't know what to tell you.
Stick to not paying your debts and leave the capping to the rest of us.
Thanks in advance. :+waving-5
