Diamond Club
2007 World Series (Boston Red Sox vs. Colorado Rockies)
The Boston Red Sox climbed up off of the mat to claim their spot in the Fall Classic with three straight wins over the Indians. The Rockies finished their incredible seasons end winning streak by breezing through the post season undefeated. We expect this series to go 5 games as the layoff will be a detriment to Colorado. They also would face Josh Beckett three times and 4 of the games will be in Fenway Park. This short series will be a result of the Red Sox offense that has put up 30 runs in past three games while knocking out a pair of 19 game winners in the process. The celebration in Red Sox Nation is forthcoming.

Wednesday, October 24th, 7:05 P.M. EDT
It's the long and short of it here with Tampa Bay having scored six goals in a win over Atlanta in its last and Washington just one in a loss to Pittsburgh in its previous game. It was the fifth under in seven games for the Caps who are 9-2 Under after scoring one goal or less over the previous three seasons. In addition, home teams where the total is 6 or more after playing a game where 3 or fewer total goals were scored are 30-10 Under over the last five seasons when going against opponent which played a game where 8 or more total goals were scored last time out.

October 24, 2007 -- Hondo, whose debt mushroomed to 70 peskys after Monday night's failure with the Jaguars, had a rare no-play day yesterday, but with good reason.
Tonight, after careful analysis of all the facts, stats, trends and theories, Mr. Aitch has decided to go with the big bad Bosawx to slaughter Cinderella in the Se ries. He'll back that up with a 20-unit investment. As for tonight, 10 units on Beckett to author a storybook start.

Wednesday night's Game 1 of the World Series is on the Under
We’ve got two red-hot pitchers going in this one, as Boston’s Josh Beckett (3-0, 1.17 ERA in the playoffs) and Colorado’s Jeff Francis (2-0, 2.13 ERA) have been lights out in October. One of the reasons both have been so successful is they’ve been throwing strikes. In fact, in five starts between the two hurlers, they have given up a combined four walks while notching 38 strikeouts!
Not only are those some impressive numbers, but both pitchers should have the advantage over the hitters for two completely different reasons. See, Colorado has been off for eight days, and although the Rocks have been working out and playing simulated games, you have to believe their timing will be off, especially facing a pitcher the quality of Beckett. As for the Red Sox, I expect a little bit of fatigue to set in after that grueling series against the Indians where Boston was required to win three straight games just to get here. And with Francis being a crafty southpaw, it’ll probably take a time or two through the lineup for the Sox hitters to adjust.
Finally, both teams are extremely strong defensively – the Rockies committed fewer errors than any team in baseball – and both bullpens have been awesome in these playoffs. Throw in the chilly northeast nighttime weather and what are sure to be Game 1 jitters, and this one should stay well under the posted total.
