Play: Boston Red Sox
Rating: 8*
The Boston Red Sox hold onto the top spot of the AL East following a 12-2 win against the Baltimore Orioles last night. The Red Sox have won five of their last six games, and this looks like a good spot to back them to pick up another win.
Drew Pomeranz (10-11, 3.01 ERA) takes the ball for Boston. He's allowed two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts, and the Orioles have the worst batting average against southpaws in the league. The Orioles are 1-5 in their last six road games vs. a left-handed starter.
Dylan Bundy (8-5, 3.82) takes the ball for the Orioles. He was roughed up for five runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings at Tampa Bay his last time out, and the 23 year old has posted a 5.23 ERA in 16 appearances (five starts) on the road this season. Boston has tagged him with seven runs on 19 hits in 9 2/3 innings. Red Sox are 8-2 in their last 10 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.
Neither team can afford to give anything less than 100% in this contest, and then I think it's worth paying the price on the home team with the pitching advantage.
