Looking at the board tonight, a juicy dog has caught my eye. This is going to be a great game to watch in the 3 team race in the AL East, between the Red Sox, Rays and Yankees.
Todays free play is...
Boston Red Sox over the Tampa Bay Rays @ +129 (2.29)
The Red Sox are 5.5 games back of both the Rays and the Yankees for both the wild card and the division. Coming off a loss last night expect the Red Sox bounce back and not lose 2 games to the Rays in a row at such a key point in the season. John Lackey, pitching for the Sox, is coming off one of his best performances of the season against Seattle.
Shields is the Rays starter in the contest tonight and he's one win away from being the franchise leader in wins. This combined with the intensity and importance of the upcoming game is going to be overwhelming for the pitcher who's going to be a little more nervous then usual. Shields has struggled against the Red Sox over the years with a 4-9 record and a 5.25 ERA. This a great spot for the Red Sox who need to find a way to get a win in what may be the difference maker for them this season.
The Red Sox will come through, take them on the money line.
