The problem with these is that the house advantage is enormous. All of these percentages add up to 216%, which is a bit excessive- for regular futures odds, that number is usually about 140%.Having said that, and with the understanding that I am probably making the same mistake here that I made with Webb, Beckett at 8:1 is my favorite here. I'm still half-convinced that Boston will go with him in G4, since starting Wakefield really seems like it would be a complete mess. And if it ends up being Beckett vs Westbrook in G7 (in Boston), the Red Sox would be enormous favorites.

might be a smart time to throw down a twenty on Pronk's 10-1 odds, same as DUSTIN PEDROIA!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
numbers be damned, thats just about the most ignorant thing ive ever heard.
That's a good point, and Hafner's line probably isn't that bad.
I think this is more a reflection on how ridiculously horrible Pedroia is at 10:1, though.
After writing this, there is no doubt in my mind that Dustin Pedroia will go 15/24 in this series with six HRs.
