4 Unit Play. Take Under 8.5 between Atlanta Braves @ Boston Redsox
Let's keep rolling in baseball. When Lowe got shelled in his last contest for 7 runs in just over 2 innings against the Orioles, I thought he might have been looking ahead to this game. This will be a bit of an emotional start for him at his old stomping grounds, but I expect him to bounce-back well. Lowe had 8 of 9 quality starts prior to his latest non-quality start in Baltimore. Keep in mind Beckett was roughed up in his most recent start as well as he gave up 6 runs in as many innings in Philadelphia as prior to that he had given up just 1 run in 28 innings (comprising of 4 total starts). Look for this game to be a pitcher's duel likely and who knows the Braves might even have a shot at pulling this game outright. But, I can't force myself to bet against Boston in bean town, so having said that, going with the Under today as it is 6-1 when the Braves are an interleague dog of this margin, 5-0 to the under when Lowe starts to a total this low and the Under is 6-0 for Beckett following a Boston loss.
4 Unit Play. Take Under 147.5 between the Chicago Sky @ Washington Mystics
The Chicago Sky come off one of their worst losses in franchisehistory to the Sun by a score of 61-91. The Sun of course drilled them because they were coming off a tough road trip and they needed a big win at home at least for morale. The Sky were the unfortunate recipient of the beat down. This happened yesterday and now the Sky turnaround and hit the road at Washington as they look to bounce-back.Do they bounce-back big and win on the road today? This is tough to say considering Washington is 3-1 and has the likes of Alan Beard and Monique Curry. But, what one has to think that after giving up 91 points to Conn, defense is the focus of today for the Sky. Washington is typically an Under team at home and an over team on the road. The MysticZZs too come off a loss to the Dream who beat them in a home and home and I suspect they too will avoid giving up 93 points as they did to the Dream in their previous game. The Mystics are likely to win this game at home on the bounce-back, but let’s roll with the Under as both teams highlight defense coming off tough losses where they gave up 90+ points apiece. The Under is 9-3 for the Sky following a loss and the Under is 4-1 between these two teams the last 5 meetings.
