The Boston Red Sox defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 on Friday, and I expect to see another high-scoring encounter tonight with a pair of struggling hurlers on the mound.

Clay Buchholz (4-9, 5.64) takes the ball for Boston who's set to make his first start since July 2. Buchholz has posted a 6.31 ERA as starter this season and the Red Sox's bullpen has been far from reliable lately. Arizona has put up an average of six runs per game over its last six contests.

Arizona turns to Archie Bradley (4-7, 4.80 ERA). He's logged a total of just eight innings in his last two starts combined while surrendering 11 runs (10 earned) on 15 hits and five walks. Only the Reds' bullpen has compiled a higher ERA than the D'Backs' this season.

Over is 12-3-1 in Diamondbacks last 16 overall and 16-5-2 in Bradley's last 23 starts overall. Over is 19-6-1 in Red Sox last 26 home games vs. a team with a losing record. We can also note that the over is 12-3-1 in umpire Ted Barrett's last 16 games behind home plate.
