Yankees/Red Sox: When Is This Not the Game of the Day?

TAGS: Sports Betting: MLB

See what happens when you bet rivalry games? You get a nosebleed. Sometimes it’s from an ornery Yankees’ fan carrying a piece of wood, but most often it’s from the unpredictable swings of the game. So, the second half of the season kicks off with the continuation of the ongoing biblical battle between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Right now, oddsmakers have the Red Sox a puny -101 favorite, giving them the slight edge due to their first place record, homefield advantage, and the unwieldy return of Curt Schilling to the bullpen. Covers breaks down all of the angles, but like any rivalry game, we’ve found it’s best to stay away from betting on such matters. The pick ‘em is always in effect and something crazy is bound to happen that usually defies all odds, logic, and reasonable gambling intuition. The intangibles in Yankees/Red Sox make all of these lines irrelevant. If you’re going to bet on one game today, why not jump on the Horacio Ramirez bandwagon and sidle up to the underdog Atlanta Braves this evening?
