Sox full of pennies


If you're looking to improve the return on the money bragging rights you earned on Monday Night Money -- our entertainment experts have spoken again:


Fall is in the air. That means football, not sweating your ass off daily on the way to work, and for us baseball lovers -- The World Series. This is really an intriguing matchup. A veteran squad against a very young team; and it could end up being very exciting. This will not be the case in Game 1. Josh Beckett has been the year's best pitcher and the Red Sox have been here before. This plays well with the awe and intimidation a young player can feel on the game's biggest stage. Clint Barmes was so overwhelmed by the World Series atmosphere at Fenway, he took a seat in row CC to soak it all in.

Beckett could very easily throw five or six shut out innings before the star-struck Rockies begin to snap out of the hype and pageantry associated with the Series. Forget the interleague record and the 20-5 total over three games, there is easy money here. Put your fake dollars on the home team.


Verdict: Take the Red Sox at -210. $$$
