AAA's BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT (LAY IT & CASH IT!)
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Boston,
Money Line: -177.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Boston Red Sox.

Setting the scene: We had a play on the Red Sox yesterday and they'd pull away for the 9-4 win. We're expecting a similar result this evening.

Jake Odorizzi: He's 9-5 with a 3.53 ERA. He's been great in the second half and most recently beat Boston on Thursday, holding the Red Sox to one run off five hits over seven frames. He's posted a tiny 1.40 ERA over his last 45 innings worked. Note though that if he's had one weak spot in his game this year, it's been his play on the road where he has a pedestrian 4.34 ERA.

Drew Pomeranz: He's 10-10 with a 2.95 ERA. He threw opposite Odorizzi last week and took the loss. He looked sharp in the setback though, giving up just two runs off seven hits with one walk, while also going on to strike out a career-high 11 over six frames. It was his first setback in five starts, but he'd go on to induce an impressive 23 swinging strikes. Pomeranz has clearly turned the corner after a rough start with the Red Sox, over his last five outings he's posted a 2.40 ERA with 31 K's in 30 frames.

The bottom line: It's payback time for Pomeranz and the RED SOX. Wrong place, wrong team for Odorizzi today, lay the price with confidence.
