The Yankees won the Eastern Division over the Redsox

The Yankees had the best record in the league

The Yankees had the best offense in the league....


So how do FOX comentators call the Yankees UNDERDOGS in this series? Are they that incompetent???



Oh yeah - of course - The Underdogs are up 2-0 image

    The bookmakers made the BoSox the favorites, that's all that that means, if your betting the Red Sox are favored.

    I may be wrong, and sure I will be quickly corrected, but I think the Sox had a better head on- record VS the Yankees this year.

    I guess it is only becuse this year
    Boston beat NY 19 times
    NY beat Boston 11 times.

    but you are right... they are killing them in this series.

    Could this be a possible Sweep?

    Vegas called the Yankees underdogs. Before the series started, if you bet on Boston to win the series, you'd be risking $100 to make $69, but if you bet on New York to win the series, you'd be risking $100 to win $135. Almost twice the payday for the same risked. Boston won the season series and had perceived superior starting pitching; nevertheless, I didn't understand how anyone could take Boston for those odds considering their postseason woes.

    don't be silly.

    The Red Sox have dominant pitching.
