MLB Playoffs Pick Of The Day – Red Sox @ Angels – Look At The Totals
Thank goodness the playoffs are here. Are we the only ones who think the regular season is too long? Tonight is the first night of postseason baseball and our focus for today’s preview is the Red Sox/Angels matchup. The MLB divisional series will follow a 2-2-1 format.
Los Angeles currently listed as a -130 favorite (lay $130 to win $100) and Boston is listed as a +110 underdog (lay $100 to win $110). The Angels outscored the Red Sox, 22-9, during a 3-game series at Fenway Park back in July. The next day Boston shipped Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers. During the nine-game season series between these squads, the Angels scored an average of 6.8 runs, while Boston averaged just 3.7 runs.
Boston enters this series with injuries. Star pitcher Josh Beckett has an elbow injury and strained his oblique muscle during Friday’s workout. The right-hander is scheduled to pitch Game 3, but the question is will he be effective? Third-baseman Mike Lowell has a sore left hip and his health will play a major part in Boston’s chances this year. Everyone knows that once you break a hip it’s straight to the nursing home…
The Angels have a terrible postseason history against Boston, but Los Angeles has dominated the Red Sox this season in nine meetings. The Angels are 8-1 in their last 9 contests with the Sox and swept Boston in both a 3-game home series and a 3-game road series during the month of July. The Angels finished the season with the best record in baseball (100-62), 21 games ahead of second-place Texas.
