Chip's AL Megabucks Best Bet (Red Sox/Rays)
(MLB) Boston vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -106.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Win
Boston at Tampa Bay 4:10 ET
Rays over Red Sox- With the Yankees in free-fall the Red Sox have moved securely into first-place in the AL East despite being last in the AL in home runs with just 90. Tampa Bay who is second in the AL with 132 homers will send Alex Cobb (6-6, 4.01 ERA) to the hill and he is 4-3 with a 3.84 ERA lifetime against Boston. Reigning Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello (4-10, 5.01) has surrendered nine long-balls in his last seven starts and is 0-2 with a 9.58 ERA against the Rays this season. He has been so bad this season that he has allowed 141 hits in just 111 innings...not good. Take TAMPA BAY!
