I am on a 12-3 run in the playoffs.
I went 2-2 yesterday but turned a nice little profit of 3.40 units as both big underdogs were able to come through. Here are my selections for today:
Boston -1.35 (3 Unit Play) & Boston -1 1/2 Run Line +1.57 (2 Unit Play)-This essentially is my 5* Championship Series play but I am splitting it up in hopes of a bigger payday here tonight. The Red Sox are turning to veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield who will be making his first start since September 28th and I believe that Terry Francona is making the right decision here. The weather is expected to be in the mid 50's for tonight's game and right now the wind is blowing out towards left field at 10 MPH. Wakefield should not suffer with the lack of action lately as he throws that fluttering knuckleball which should be quite a weapon tonight against the Rays in the wind. Wakefield has been solid all year at home as he is 7-4 on the year at Fenway with a 3.10 ERA and in fact the Red Sox have won 10 of his 14 starts at home. Wakefield's last five starts at home are also impressive as he has pitched 31 1/3 innings and allowed only 21 hits and seven earned runs while striking out 20 batters and walking only 4. Sure Wakefield has had his problems this year against the Rays as the Red Sox dropped all three of his starts but all of those games were at Tampa Bay and I expect him to be on top of his game here tonight. The Rays will hand the ball to Andy Sonnanstine who was only 7-5 on the road this year with a 4.29 ERA. The Rays did go 10-7 in those starts by Sonnanstine though. I think the problem for the Rays here tonight though is going to be that Sonnanstine pitched two games against Boston late in the season on September 10th and 16th and while he dominated the Red Sox not allowing an earned run the familiarity is there and I think the Red Sox being in a desperate situation will get to him on a cold night at Fenway Park. The HP umpire for tonight's game is Brian Gorman and for the season the home team won 25 out of 34 games with Gorman behind home plate and favorites in the -121 to -140 category went an incredible 10-2 this year in games Gorman umpired. I have Tampa Bay to win this series and I still think they will but I really like the Red Sox to win this game tonight. I have no opinion on tonight's total so I am just riding with the game.
That wraps up my Tuesday Selections and I will be back on Wednesday with another winning selection. Best of luck to everyone tonight and enjoy the game.

double-dime bet916 BOS / 915 TAM Under 9 BetUS
Analysis: Stan has Bet BOSTON/TAMPA BAY GAME UNDER today. Stan expects a Big Game from Tim Wakefield who has been in this position before. The combination of that along with his knuckle ball should keep the Tampa Bay hitters confused. Add that to the fact that Boston has 3 runs or less in 3 of their last 4 games sends this game Under. TAKE BOSTON/TAMPA BAY GAME UNDER as STAN'S TUESDAY NIGHT BASEBALL BEST BET and make them a DOUBLE DIME PLAY.Comment
