Baseball Betting - Red Sox at Yankees!

Baseball betting on Monday will feature one of the hottest rivalries anywhere to bet on sports with. Baseball betting fans will have their choice of two of the most popular teams that gamblers bet on sports with in Boston and the Yankees.

The New York Yankees entered the baseball betting season under intense pressure to get back to their winning ways after missing the post season last year.  They are also under the additional pressure of having to fill their expensive new Stadium and fulfill the incredibly high expectations of those who bet on sports.

The Yankees got off to a slow start to the baseball betting season but have fared somewhat better lately as they got the cash in four out of five games from April 28 through May 2.  The big problem for the Yankees so far this
baseball betting season has been their 30th ranked pitching staff.  The Yankees have the top rated batting lineup in all of baseball betting so their pitching staff's 5.93 earned run average only serves to frustrate fans and gamblers, not to mention their front office, even more!  Despite winning 13 of their first 24 games the Yankees were down -$280 for the season as they are a consistent high priced overlay on the baseball betting board.

The Boston Red Sox were having baseball betting problems of their own as well.  From April 30 through May 3 the Red Sox lost three out of four games.  Boston was 15-10 to start the baseball betting season with just 8 of those games having gone under the total.  The Red Sox have had similar problems to the Yankees in that they ranked 5th overall on offense but ranked 20th overall on pitching.

The probable starters for this one will be left hander Jon Lester of Boston and right hander Phil Hughes of the Yankees.  Lester was 1-2 with a 4.88 earned run average to start the season.  Hughes was 1-0 with no earned runs allowed in his only previous appearance.  Lester is 2-0 lifetime against the Yankees with a 3.34 earned run average.
