This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Boston Red Sox.
Rick Porcello has for the most part been a complete disaster this year. Last year Porcello was the AL Cy Young winner and was 13-1 at home with a sub-3.00 ERA. Porcello has struggled in every facet this year, but he's coming off likely his best start of the year and we think he'll carry that momentum over here:
Adalberto Mejia: He's 2-3 with a 4.93 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. Like Porcello, for the most part the 2nd year pro has struggled, but he does come in off a decent outing against the Indians on Friday, allowing zero runs off two hits and five walks while striking out four across five innings. Mejia hasn't made it far into games, having only made it into the sixth just once over his last six starts.
Porcello: He's 4-9 with a 5.00 ERA and 1.53 WHIP (last year he was 22-4 with a 3.15 ERA). Porcello most recently gave up four runs (three earned) off eight hits and a walk while striking out eight over 6.1 innings in a 9-4 victory over the Angels. 73 of his 102 pitches were for strikes and he gave up no long balls.
The bottom line: Porcello comes in with a chip on his shoulder and the big bats' of Boston chase Mejia early. Play on the RED SOX.
