BoSox (Wakefield) at NYY (Mussina)

It doesn't take a man to call a -200 favorite. But, it sure as hell hurts when a -200 favorite loses.

Wakefield has had a ton of success against the Yanks, and has pitched well over his last 3 posting 3.6 ERA. Mussina has struggled with a 5.59 ERA over his last 3.

The Yanks return home with an extra day of rest over the BoSox. The BoSox have also traveled coast to coast twice in their harsh 5 game series with Oakland.

Wakefield to pitch closer with his season 4.16 ERA and Mussina to return to form to his 3.45 season ERA. Yank's bats continue their hitting with the extra rest.
