The only thing I am going to say about last night's pick, the rain delayed hurt Josh Beckett and cooled the hot bats of the Boston Red Sox.
MLB Pick For August 3, 2011:
Spread: New York Yankees -1.5/Chicago White Sox +1.5
Over/Under: 8.5
Tonight's game is on ESPN's Wednesday Night Baseball so I look for each player from both teams dig extra deep to build up their stock. The Yankees will be throwing A.J. Burnett (8-9, 4.23 ERA) while the White Sox will be throwing Gavin Floyd (9-8, 3.92). Like I said before, since this game is on ESPN tonight I expect the runs to flow. A few days ago I said I would never put up a pick for the Yankees to win when A.J. Burnett is their starting pitcher so tonight I am leaning towards the over of 8.5. The over has hit 9 out of 13 of the White Sox's last 13 home games against the Yankees. With this match up, I expect runs to be scored and to exceed the over/under line.
MY PICK: OVER of 8.5
