Mentioned yesterday about a baseball wagering opportunity to consider. The Boston Red Sox are of course the defending World Series champions and have been dealt about as cruel a hand to start the season as any baseball team could. (Phil Hellmuth would be whining like crazy) By now you know they had to fly to Japan to play two regular season games against Oakland, along with putting on clinics and other things when they visited.
They flew back to Los Angeles to play exhibition games (that makes sense) against the Dodgers, before flying up the coast to finish A's "home" series on April 1st and 2nd. (This is no joke and it gets better) Granted, in order to get home they have to fly East, but to Toronto for weekend series? For those keeping score, that's three countries in 10 days.
After off day on April 7, it is three games with Detroit, who figures to compete with BoSox for top honors in the AL, followed by three with the hated Yankees. If that weren't enough, a brief four game trip to two cities ...................just two of the teams that were in the American League postseason, Cleveland and those fun-loving Yankees.
That is three countries and seven cities (including L.A.) in 24 days. Even Tampa Bay would have reason to complain, let alone the defending champions of the baseball.
This all leads to betting against the Red Sox, through no fault of their own, especially when they are favored in this time period. It would make sense they would be overvalued as champs, and having to play this tough of schedule would be challenging enough. Throw in all the travel, thanks to Bud the Commish and this appears to be money-making proposition playing against the Red Sox.
