Tuesday Baseball Pick!

For Tuesday, I like the over 9.5 (+100)in the Tampa Rays vs Boston Red Sox game.

The Rays start James Shields. He is 6-7 on the year with a 4.55 ERA and a .279 BAA. On the road he is 5-3 with a 3.49 ERA, but a BAA of .286. For the month of June he is 1-4 with a 7.40 ERA and a .300 BAA. Against Boston this year he is 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA. He is 1-0 at Fenway this year, but with a 5.40 ERA and a .310 BAA. From 2007-2009 he was 3-6 against the Sox with a 5.17 ERA. But before he won at Fenway this year, for his career at Fenway he was 0-6 with an 8.04 ERA and a .344 BAA. In fact, including this year, Shields has pitched 34.2 innings at Fenway Park. In those 34.2 innings, he has allowed 63 men to reach base. The Sox, who bat .280 against righties and who bat .289 at home, will get some offense tonight.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox go with John Lackey. On the year he is 8-3 with a 4.69 ERA. However, his WHIP is 1.57 and his BAA is .298. In his last 2 starts he allowed 20 men on base in 12.2 innings. For the month of June he is 3-0 with a 4.41 ERA, but with a .316 BAA. At home this year he is 6-1, but again with a 5.03 ERA and a .299 BAA. For his career against the Rays he is 10-3, but this year he is 1-1 against them with an ERA of 9.31 and a BAA of .395. In 9.2 innings pitched against the Rays this year, he has allowed 22 men to reach base.

Liking the Over tonight.

Blue Monday Baseball Pick

Today, I like the Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 (+155) over the Boston Red Sox.

The Tampa Bay Rays are looking for a fifth straight home win after completing a 4-1 road trip with Sunday's 10-6 win at Houston.

Of the 4 meetings between these two teams this season, the Rays have won by at least 2 runs on 3 of those occasions. Tampa Bay has won 65% of their home games this season.

Fri 4/16 TB 3, @BOS 1
Sat 4/17 TB 6, @BOS 5
Sun 4/18 TB 7, @BOS 1
Mon 4/19 TB 8, @BOS 2

Good Luck!

Friday MLB Pick

Today, I like the over 9 (-120) in the Redsox vs Phillies game.

Lackey (4-2, 4.86 ERA) will try to bounce back after allowing 11 runs in his last two starts. He gave up five in seven innings of a 5-1 defeat at Detroit on Sunday.

The Phillies counter with Cole Hamels, (4-2, 4.29) who will be looking to win a third straight start for the first time since winning four in a row in May 2007.

Both offenses have the capability of scoring runs, both pitchers ERAs are mediocre, this one may go early.

Good Luck!

Tuesday Baseball Play

Now 18-17 (-159) for the season.

Today we're taking the Over 9 (-105)in the Red Sox vs Yankees game.

Boston starters have a 5.16 ERA that ranks near the bottom of the league, and the team is already 8 1/2 games behind first-place Tampa Bay.

Beckett (1-1, 7.46 ERA) has been dealing with back spasms since his most recent start May 7, when he allowed nine runs in 5 1/3 innings of a 10-3 loss to the Yankees.

Sabathia (4-2, 3.71) had more problems in his last outing, allowing a season-high six runs in six innings of a 6-0 loss at Detroit on Thursday.

The Over is 6-1 in games between these 2 teams this season.

Good Luck!

Friday MLB Pick

Record 9-8 (+018)

Today we look at 2 under achieving teams, we like the over 8.5 (-120) in the Baltimore Orioles vs Boston Red Sox.

The Red Sox have won 23 of 26 meetings with the Orioles behind a .336 batting average. They've taken 13 of 14 at Fenway Park in that span, while their overall winning streak has reached eight games.

Good Luck!

Monday Bases, early game!

Record 6-7 (-241)

Tampa Bay has won their last 6, while Boston has lost their last 4, there is value in taking Tampa at (+159), so that's our pick for the day.

Good Luck!

Tuesday Night Baseball
