1* Free Play OVER Tigers/Red Sox.

The visitors hand the ball to Shane Greene (4-7, 6.52 ERA), who was sent to Triple-A on June 12th and who has looked decent in the minors, going 1-1 with a 3.42 ERA, but let's not forget that before he was sent down, Greene was a deplorable 2-4 with a ghastly 8.44 ERA on the road in the big leagues. The home side counters with Eduardo Rodriguez (5-3, 4.64 ERA) who was destroyed by the Angles on Monday, giving up seven runs off six hits and two homers over just 1 2/3's innings of work. And unfortunately for Rodriguez, a date at home is not what the doctor ordered to get untacked as he's posted a poor 6.41 ERA in front of the home town crowd to date. Recent performance is always a good indicator and is an important factor to take into account when handicapping starting pitching, so with each of these hurlers clearly coming into this contest struggling with control, there's no question that the OVER becomes a legitimate investment opportunity.
