I would rather be lucky than good Fade... much rather be lucky. Red Sox are going to sweep the Pinstripes IMO. Beckett and Dice K will be victorious over the inexperienced Karstens & Wright. Huge SP advantage for Red Sox the next 2 days plus huge momentum with their come from behind win tonight. Get out your broomsticks out Boston... SWEEP!!!
Pitching is so important in baseball and the Spankees have weak starting pitching. This will be their achilles heal and make it very difficult to even make the playoffs. You can't expect your offense to score at least 7 runs every night. Pinstripes need Mussina healthy and they need to sign Clemens ASAP. Pettite is currently their only decent SP.
Rasner, Karstens, Chase Wright, and Igawa are all unproven ML pitchers. Pavano is a career journeyman who had a huge 2004 with Florida and the Yankees took the bait and signed him. He didn't even pitch last season and doesn't look sharp.
Yes, the Yankees lineup is second to none and the Over is worth a shot in every Pinstripes game with their weak SP.
