Match: BALTIMORE ORIOLES vs. BOSTON RED SOX
Bet: BOSTON RED SOX WIN @ 1,52
*Info: The Boston Red Sox came up with a huge 14-inning victory in Game 2 of their double-header yesterday, beating the Yankees 7-4 to stay one game ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays for play-offs wild-card . I look for Boston to take a collective sigh of relief, and to come into Game 1 against Baltimore with confidence and a chip on their shoulder.
Boston's starting pitcher Josh Beckett is going to be hungry as well after giving up a season-high six runs in 7 1/3 innings of a 4-6 loss to the Orioles on 21.09.2011.
Beckett has been one of the best big-game pitchers in MLB history, and this is certainly a huge stage here tonight. Boston's Ace has recorded 13wins/6 losses with a 2.70 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in 29 starts this season, including 7-4 with a 2.68 ERA and 0.925 WHIP in 15 road outings. Beckett will show up with his best stuff tonight.
Baltimore's starting pitcher Tommy Hunter is 3-3 with a 5.26 ERA and 1.358 WHIP in 10 starts this season for the Orioles. He has allowed a whopping 10 home runs in 63 1/3 innings. Hunter sports a 7.50 ERA and 1.499 WHIP in five career starts against Boston.
The Red Sox are 46-13 vs. a starting pitcher who gives up 1 or more HR's/start over the last 3 seasons. They are winning in this spot 6.6 to 4.1 on average, and they are 40-19 against the run line in this situation.
