Those playing Saturday’s UFC<\/span> 101 odds<\/a> can warm up with a heavyweight bout on the baseball diamond on Friday, as the Yankees host the Red Sox in the second of a four-game American League East showdown. This will be the third meeting of the year between these two pitchers, who happen to be former teammates. <\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Red Sox vs<\/span> Yankees odds – Friday, August 7, 7:05 PM ET<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/b><\/h1>\n

A.J<\/span><\/font><\/span>. Burnett (10-5, 3.89) gave up more than three runs for the first time in two months as he was lit up for seven in 4.2 innings of a 14-4 loss in Chicago<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. After two straight starts on the road, he returns to Yankee Stadium, where he is 4-1 in 10 starts with a 3.68 ERA. The 32-year-old has been banged around by the Red Sox this year, going 0-1 in two starts with a 12.91 ERA, and that was his first loss to Boston<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> in his career, dropping his career record to 5-1 in 10 starts with a 3.80 ERA.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Online betting<\/a> lines for this game could go either way in the third meeting of the year between Beckett and Burnett, who were teammates on <\/span><\/font>Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>‘s 2003 World Series team. However, Beckett was the MVP of that series, while Burnett missed virtually the entire season after Tommy John surgery. Both got hammered in a 16-11 Boston win in their first clash, while in the second, Burnett never made it out of the third inning as Beckett tossed a one-hitter through six. Also, Beckett always seems to get up for the Yankees, even when he was in Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, and while Burnett will pitch better, he still won’t be able to beat Beckett. Make the Red Sox one of your Friday baseball picks<\/a>. <\/o:p><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Josh Beckett (13-4, 3.27) threw seven scoreless innings of six-hit ball in a 4-0 win at <\/span><\/font>Baltimore<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>, and he’s now 6-4 in 11 road starts with a 3.93 ERA. He’s also won two of his three starts against the Yankees in 2009, racking up a 5.82 ERA. The high ERA against the Yanks is nothing to the 29-year-old, as he has a 5.42 ERA in 15 starts, but that goes with a 9-4 record. Your betting software<\/a> should be okay with that.<\/o:p><\/p>\n
