Wednesday's Winners ... 20 Dime: CINCINNATI REDS ... NOTE: List Aaron Harang as the Reds' starting pitcher. If Harang does not start, this play is VOID!
10 Dime: BOSTON RED SOX (-1 1/2 runs) ... NOTE: As with all run-line plays, pitchers are automatically specified. So Clay Buchholz (Boston) and Justin Masterson (Cleveland) MUST start this game or this play is VOID!
Reds
Playing the percentages here, as the Giants have reeled off three straight road wins (all behind their top three pitchers). Well, San Francisco hasn’t won four in a row on the highway all season. In fact, the Giants haven’t won four straight road games since sweeping the then-lowly Nationals from June 6-9 … back in 2008! We’re talking 158 straight road contests without winning four in a row.
Meanwhile, the Reds have hit a bit of a rough patch, dropping six of their last nine games, including three straight at home (two vs. San Francisco, one vs. Houston). It’s the first time all season Cincinnati has dropped three in a row in its home park – and it hasn’t lost three straight to the same team at home since mid-August of last season.
As for the pitching matchup here, we’ve got the Reds’ Aaron Harang facing San Francisco lefty Jonathan Sanchez. Harang has pitched at least six innings in seven of his last eight starts, during which time he’s registered a solid 4.13 ERA. And in his last three starts against the Giants, Harang has pitched 7, 7 and 7 1/3 innings, allowing a total of five earned runs (2.11 ERA) on 21 hits and five walks with 19 strikeouts. In fact, Harang has limited the Giants to two earned runs or fewer in seven of his last 10 starts against them.
What about Sanchez? Well, he’s been strong all year and brings a 2.63 ERA into this game. But he’s got just a 4-4 record to show for it, and San Francisco is just 6-5 in his last 11 starts, including 2-3 on the road (where the Giants support Sanchez with just 3.4 runs per game). Tonight, Sanchez is facing a Reds lineup that’s destroying left-handed pitching right now (.331 average last 10 games). And for the season, the Reds are batting .285 against southpaws.
Red Sox (-1½ runs)
Big-time mismatches all over the field in this one, starting on the mound where Clay Buchholz (8-3, 2.39 ERA) faces former teammate Justin Masterson (1-5, 5.46 ERA). While Masterson is just 2-12 since being traded from Boston to Cleveland last summer, Buchholz has solidified his reputation as a quality big-league starter. Buchholz is 5-0 with a 0.99 ERA in his last five starts (four runs allowed in 36 1/3 innings), and Boston is 7-1 in his last eight starts, including 4-0 on the road.
For the season, Buchholz is 5-0 with a 1.31 ERA in five road starts, with the Red Sox outscoring the opposition by an average of 4.8 runs in those five victories. That includes wins of 11-0 (Baltimore), 6-1 (Tampa Bay) and 7-2 (Detroit) in his last three roadies.
Buchholz leads a Red Sox staff that has been absolutely lights out of late, posting a 2.60 ERA since May 18 (after recording a 5.18 ERA through the season’s first six weeks).
Finally, by winning the first two games of this series, the Red Sox are now 17-3 against Cleveland (7-1 on the road) since trailing Boston 3-1 in the 2007 A.L. Championship Series. Of those 17 wins, 13 have been by multiple runs. Beyond that, the Red Sox have won nine of their last 10 on the road, while the Tribe have dropped 13 of 16 at home.
