I am going to take a flyer on the O's v the Yanks, history and bloodlines be damned.
Tues Cabrera v Mussina
Wed Olson(L) v Rasner
Thurs Burres(L) v Kennedy
Balt +160 ( to win at least 2 of 3 in series)
Bronx hitting .212 for the season v LHP at home (.211 overall)
O's 9-13 on road
NYY 9-11 at home
NYY 2-10 L12 as a fave
O's have gone 2-1 v NYY so far this year.
Last year, O's respectable 8-9 v NYY, and went 3-2-1 in the six series in '07. The 3 series played in Bronx went 1-1-1
The Yanks are favored on reputation alone. These two teams are headed in opposite directions. The wrong team is favored here. If they split the first two games, there is no way NYY will favored 160 or higher with Kennedy on Thursday, so a hedge bet guarantees small profit. So IMO, the value here is much too good to pass on.
