This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Boston Red Sox.
Rick Porcello (7-2, 3.68 ERA) has gotten beaten up by Baltimore, in three starts vs. it last season he'd go 0-2 with a 9.37 ERA, to drop him to 3-7 with a 5.45 ERA in 12 career outings. Ubaldo Jimenez (2-6, 6.36) has been even worse vs. the Red Sox, most recently he'd give up four runs off six hits and four walks over five innings in a 4-2 loss in Boston April 13th to fall to 2-5 with a ballooned 7.25 ERA in 12 career matchups. The difference between these two pitchers though is that Porcello is enjoying a solid start, while Jimenez will likely be out of the starting rotation after this outing. Most recently Jimenez was shelled for six runs off five hits with three walks over just 1 2/3's innings in an 11-4 loss in Cleveland on Saturday. Porcello has been competitive in almost every appearance this season, he was in line for the win after giving up four runs over seven innings in his team's eventual 10-9 loss in Toronto on Saturday, his bullpen blowing the late lead. Even though the Red Sox are on an epic offensive run right now, for arguments sake we'll call these line-ups a "wash." But we're giving Porcello the big nod in this matchup and that's more than enough to tip the scales in favor of the visitors and does indeed make this a price in which we have no issues at all in laying. Play on the RED SOX.
