The Randy Moss trade reaction is pouring in at WEEI sports radio and the Hub in Boston. Only Diana Taurasi is looking hotter than pro bettors as only the Hoosier lottery is making gamblers more money than the top football handicappers.

Now let’s get to MLB Playoffs picks. Your complimentary winner for Wednesday is from Matt Rivers on the Tampa Bay Rays -128 against Texas

I am not the biggest pro Tampa Bay Rays guy because I do think they have the potential to get beat in this series and the way they have performed down the stretch against bottom feeders in the Orioles and Royals showed just that. But and a big but here, David Price is an absolute beast and in my opinion deserving of the Cy Young award. Sure Cliff Lee is a former winner and a lefty that has a world of upside but I’m not really all that sure what Lee is right now. Things were better in September but all in all the stint in Texas just did not go well for Lee. I’m not sure if the southpaw was expecting to go to New York so that being shipped off to Arlington affected him in a negative way or what but nothing has been all that good. Again, I do admit that we saw glimpses of the old Lee towards the end but I’m just not all that sure if that is fully to be believed or not.

Texas has big boppers and can hit anybody most of the time but I say most and not all because of how dominant Price has been throughout this season. Vlad, Hamilton, Cruz, Young and the Rangers are a powerful lineup that is as scary as anybody. But I also definitely do really like Crawford, Longoria, Pena and the Rays and at home with Price hurling feel they can stack up with Ron Washington’s boppers.

I expect a well pitched game from both Price and Lee but in the end the Tampa lefty has been too consistent and should give us a rock solid seven plus inning performance. Lee may be good but the way he has been over the past few months truly doesn’t give me the confidence that he can match Price right now and in the end I see 5-2 Rays written all over this thing.
