AAA's SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH (MASSIVE SUMMER MLB RUN CONTINUES!)
(MLB) Boston vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -160.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Boston Red Sox.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we feel that Chris Sale and the hard-hitting Red Sox could/should easily be much larger ones:

Sale: He's 11-3 with a 2.61 ERA. Sale most recently went seven scoreless against the Blue Jays on Saturday, scattering four hits and one walk to go along with 11 K's. Sales 12.43 K/9 is the best in the league. Note that he's 5-2 with a 2.86 ERA on the road thus far.

Jacob Faria: He's 3-0 with a 2.23 ERA. Faria gave up three runs off four hits while striking out six over 6.2 innings against Baltimore on Friday. Faria has been great in his limited time, but clearly faces his stiffest test to date.

The bottom line: Note that Boston is 40-27 (+5.1 units) against right-handed starters, while Tampa Bay is just 10-16 (-6.4 units) against southpaws. Play on the RED SOX.
