Dice-K makes his first start since hitting the DL in mid April and should be a bit rusty, but don&#8217;t be surprised if the Red Sox surprise Santana, who is due to take one on the chin, and give him enough run support to win. Let&#8217;s have some fun and go for the upset.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Best sports odds pick: Red Sox +115\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, May 23, 7:10 p.m. ET: Mike Pelfrey (4-1, 4.61) vs Josh Beckett (4-2, 5.85)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baseball betting lines: none\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>4-1 despite his 4.61 ERA, Mike Pelfrey is a guy who really relies on run support for his success. Problem: two of his key offensive supporters, Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado, are out of the lineup for this weekend&#8217;s series, meaning Josh Beckett can pitch around David Wright and Carlos Beltran. Beckett loves pitching against the Mets, as his 6-2 record and 2.50 career ERA against them suggest, so he should have no problem mowing down their depleted lineup Saturday. Chalk up another one for Beantown.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Best sports odds pick: Red Sox\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, May 24, 1:35 p.m. ET: Tim Redding (0-0, 3.00) vs Tim Wakefield (5-2, 3.59)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Baseball betting<\/span>\u00a0lines: none\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough to pick a team to sweep in\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MLB betting<\/span>, and I\u00a0<em>wanted\u00a0<\/em>to find a reason why the Mets will pull out a win here, but what can I say? In two trips to Fenway Park, Tim Redding has been bombed for 12 runs, eight earned, in 5.2 innings (again, he lasted 5.2 innings over\u00a0<em>two\u00a0<\/em>starts). More often than not, Wakefield&#8217;s knuckler has danced properly this season, so the Red Sox odds look good again at your online sports book on Sunday.
