Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays Tampa Bay Rays
-110 at bodog
5* A.L. East Game of the Year (ESPN) on Rays -110
The Rays are one of the best home teams in baseball at 42-22, and I like them to bounce back strong against a Red Sox team that is 1 game below .500 on the road. The Rays are 5-2 at home against the Red Sox this season and 16-5 over the last 21. Tampa Bay has the edge on the hill tonight with Garza against Beckett. While Beckett has had a terrific season, he has struggled of late. The right-hander is 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA and 10 home runs allowed in 18 1-3 innings over his last three starts and the Red Sox are 1-4 in his last 5 road starts vs. the Rays. Garza is at his best at home and has been an absolute Red Sox killer. The Rays are 6-0 in Garza's last 6 home starts vs. the Red Sox. In fact, Garza is 7-1 (10-2 against the money line) lifetime against Boston with an ERA of 2.66 and a WHIP of 1.076. The Red Sox are 2-12 in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning record, 1-9 in their last 10 games as a road underdog, and 1-4 in Beckett's last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Rays are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss, 72-25 in their last 97 home games vs. a right-handed starter, and 9-3 in Garza's last 12 home starts. Take the Rays.
