First things first, I highly doubt there were many daring people in the sports betting world who would have had the guts to pick the over for the Phillies/Dodgers game last night. But don't worry all, I had the courage to lay it all out on the line even with the intimidating match up between Roy Halladay and Hiroki Kuroda. No big deal!
MLB Pick for August 9, 2011:
Spread: Boston Red Sox -1.5/Minnesota Twins +1.5
Over/Under: 8.5
The Red Sox will be trying to extend their 3 game winning streak to 4 games tonight in their match up against the Minnesota Twins. The Sox will be sending Erik Bedard (4-7, 3.55 ERA) out to the mound while the Twins will counter with Francisco Liriano (7-9, 5.03 ERA). I look for a continuation of last night's game and the runs to tally up. I am predicting, at minimum, a score of 5-4 in this ballgame. Liriano has been having an up and down year and I look for him to be giving up quite a bit of runs. His counterpart, Erik Bedard, should be giving up some runs also to run up the total.
MY PICK: OVER of 8.5
