Default Re: Boston +300 to Win AL East

A don't know if your up to date on current events but Boston's rotation isn't better than last year. First off they lost Lowe who eats up innings, they lost Pedro, They added Wade Miller who even Bos admits there is virtually no way he plays till at the earliest..after the All Star Break...Schilling is out at least the first 2-3 weeks if not more. Wells will steady barring his back acting up and Clement the headcase will be great one start and shitty the next.
Boston won't even finish close to the Yankees for first place.
This is a suckers bet...its just high enough for everyone to think..you know what..this is the year they'll finally beat the yankees and take the division.
Ask any sports anylyst worth their salt and they'll laugh at that notion.
Now in a seven game series this would be a great bet...but to win the division hell no...+500 or higher and you'de still probally lose.
