If familiarity breeds contempt, there should be animosity aplenty on Thursday when the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees meet at Yankee Stadium.
The Red Sox will trot Jon Lester out to the mound in this one. Lefthander Lester has a 12-5 record and a 3.49 ERA this season.
Lester’s opponent in this one will be Mike Mussina. The Yankees righthander has a 3.45 ERA to go along with a 16-7 record this season.
NewBodog oddsmakers currently have the Yankees listed as 125-moneyline favorites versus the Red Sox, while the game’s total has not yet been posted. Dustin Pedroia belted a grand slam to lead the Red Sox to an 11-2 rout of the Yankees as +115 underdogs on Wednesday. The 13 runs made it OVER the posted over/under (10.5).
Alex Rodriguez had two hits with one RBI for the Yankees, who were favored at -125 in that game. Sidney Ponson gave up four runs off seven hits to suffer the loss.

Patriots-NY Giants
Middling handicapper Oscar Dooley will note this is a rematch of the Super Bowl, but we don’t expect any revenge factor.
Bengals-Colts
Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is out. However both RB Rudi Johnson and WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh are expected to get their first snaps of the preseason. Often confused head coach Marvin Lewis is not sure how much each will play. WR Chad Johnson is not expected to play.
Vikings-Cowboys
The Pokes starters are expected to play little if any, including playboy Tony Romo, who is unlikely to suit up. In fact, third-string QB Richard Bartel is expected to play the whole game.
Jets-Eagles
Starting QB for the Jets, Brett Favre, are not expected to play at all. However, the Eagles may actually play their starters as head coach Andy Reid claims he’s undecided. History says they won’t play according to Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com
Jaguars-Redskins
Sports Betting and Dancing With the Stars
Baseball dominates the sports schedule again on Wednesday, with the Yankees hosting the BoSox in one of the marquee games. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup . . .
Event of the day . . .
The Red Sox are leading the Wild Card race in the American League (with the Rays still comfortably holding down first place in the AL East), but the Yankees will be looking to make up some ground in their quest for yet another postseason berth when they continue their three-game home series against their bitter rival on Wednesday night.
New York has Sidney Ponson (7-4, 4.67 ERA) on tap for Wednesday night’s matchup, and the righthander is coming off a brutal outing against Toronto in which he gave up seven earned runs on eight hits over just two innings of work. Ponson is just 1-3 over his past six starts, and he was pummeled by

Political betting…
As the world awaits President Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Convention, the political betting odds are temporarily off the board. According to Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy the Hurricane Gustav projected path could also greatly affect the election.
“If the hurricane hits New Orleans and the federal government shows they’ve learned from the blunders of Katrina, this could take a lot of the sting out of Barack Obama’s attack dogs making this election focused as much on George Bush as John McCain,” says Duffy.

One of the great lines from It’s a Wonderful Life was from George Bailey, “Where’s that money, you silly stupid old fool? Where’s that money? Do you realize what this means? It means bankruptcy and scandal and prison. That’s what it means. One of us is going to jail – well, it’s not gonna be me.”
We all love scandal and so do the sportsbooks. Can Dancing With the Stars provide the controversy the stumbling Paula Abdul gives American Idol? BetUs Sportsbook says yes with the following odds for Dancing With the Stars.
