One early play today, as this game starts at 2:10 PM ET. Detroit's offense is rolling along and gets to face a kid making his first career start today, and Brad Penny is on the mound for Detroit, and he is a big fan of giving up runs. Look for both teams to score early and often, and this over should hit earlier in the game rather than later. Good luck.
Had Boston last night and with their money management on wagers they are up over $250 this month. They did say in their write up that they usually do not go after non-contenders this late in the season but they would play small on METS due they have been on a roll. I guess that means they normally would have passed on action tonight.
WUNDERDOG (MLB) 1 OF 5 Game: Toronto at Boston (1:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: Boston -120 (moneyline)
Jon Lackey has sure had his issues this season pitching to a 6.30 ERA. Despite that, he is a 12 game winner because Boston can out-hit his mistakes. Sox bats came to life last night producing 18 runs, and won despite giving up 6 runs. Lackey thrives in expected close games as he's 23-10 at home with a line of +125 to -125. The Jays have struggled in the AL East and can't seem to get over the hump and a stacked division. It has shown in their quality of play as a dog, or lack thereof, as they are 1-8 in their last nine games posted as an underdog, including 1-4 with Romero on the hill as a road dog. Toronto is just 3-9 at Fenway behind Romero and 1-6 in their last seven here overall. Boston is now 7-2 in their last nine with Lackey on the mound following a game where the opponent scored 5+ against them. The Red Sox are also a sick 42-16 the past three seasons at home when the total is set at 10 or higher. Boston in this one.
