[wayne1218]

You guys are all scaring me. Usually the bats take a little longer to catch up to the pitching and i was thinking UNDER!

That's 5 or 6 innings in their first start

[wayne1218]

That's 5 or 6 innings in their first start

and both teams have a damn good bullpen.

[wayne1218]

That's 5 or 6 innings in their first start

Beckett's 1st start last year he went 7.0 innings and he gave up 2 hits and 1 run.

Sabathia's was worse 4.1 innings, 8 hits and 6 runs

If they are pitching well, they will go 7

Wayne...u pulled out a stat that i didnt know about.
Still like over as when these teams play I like over or no play...I would like to know the over under wins in the past 5 yrs with these teams..maybe i caught it right when there were the slugfests...just thought 9 was a little short..7-4 Sox
