AAA's American League "ASSASSIN!" (SIGNATURE SERIES RELEASE!)
(MLB) Boston vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -190.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 6* ASSASSIN 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 visiting side could/should easily be much larger ones.

Sale: He's 13-4 with a 2.70 ERA. Sale most recently allowed seven runs off eight hits in a no-decision against the Tribe on Tuesday (also striking out five.) Sale came into that start having posted 20.2 scoreless innings, but he came up short in what was clearly his worst outing of the campaign. No need to hit the panic button though obviously, Sale looks to get back on track now and improve upon his already impressive 7-3, 2.60 ERA record on the road.

Austin Pruitt: He's 6-2 with a 5.65 ERA. Pruitt enters off his best start of his career, going six shutout innings against Houston on Wednesday. Previous to that though the rookie had been blasted for five runs over five innings at Yankee Stadium and note that he owns a poor 5.65 ERA in front of the home town crowd this season.

The bottom line: Note that Boston is 51-37 (+3.7 units) this year against right-handed starters this year, while Tampa Bay is just 15-19 (-2.4 units) against southpaws. Play on the RED SOX.
