Let's keep rolling

Now at 7-2 for the month of August.

Two picks for Wednesday.

The Boston Red Sox start Brad Penny. He is 7-5 with a 5.07 ERA and a .291 batting average against. On the road this year he is 2-3 with a 5.51 ERA and a .299 batting average against. Against the Rays this year he is 1-1 with an ERA of 4.38 and a batting average against of .286. For his career, his ERA against Tampa is 5.06. Since the All-Star break (his last 3 starts) he has been miserable. He is 1-2 with a 7.16 ERA and a .308 batting average against. The Rays should get to him tonight.

Meanwhile the Tampa Bay Rays start left handed pitcher David Price. He is 4-4 with a 5.10 ERA and a .265 batting average against. This will be his first career start against Boston. Since the All-Star break (last 3 starts) his ERA is 6.19 and his batting average against is .324. The Red Sox are batting .316 over the past 7 days, so they should get their share of runs as well.

Wednesday's play is over 9.5 (-120) in the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox game. Also adding the Los Angeles Dodgers (-130) to beat the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers have a 7.97 ERA while losing six of their last 10 contests and the Dodgers are amazing at home.
