Red Sox (-135, O/U 9): Josh Beckett gets the call for the Red Sox tonight after snapping a personal three-game slide his last time out versus Kansas City. Before beating the Royals, Beckett had allowed 14 runs in his previous 20.1 innings on the mound. Beckett is 3-0 in four career starts against the White Sox, although his ERA is an average 4.64 in those outings. The OVER is 4-2 in Beckett's last six starts.
Red Sox are 19-8 in Beckett's last 27 road games.
The OVER is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

White Sox: John Danks hasn't lost a decision in 10 straight starts but three of his last four outings have been shaky. Before shutting down Detroit in his most recent start, Danks had allowed 15 runs in his previous 16 innings of work. Danks has been tough at home this season but he's struggled badly against the Red Sox, going 0-2 with a lofty 8.68 ERA. Not surprisingly, four of Dank's last five starts have gone OVER the total.
White Sox are 2-8 in the last 10 meetings.

Philadelphia Phillies at Los Angeles Dodgers [ESPN2 | 10:10 PM ET]
Phillies: Kyle Kendrick has been fantastic for the Phillies over his last three starts, allowing just three runs in 18.2 innings pitched. Kendrick is 6-2 on the road this year but his ERA is 4.79, compared to 3.90 at home. Kendrick has been strong over his last 10 starts, allowing three runs or less seven times. You can't go wrong betting the OVER with Kendrick on the hill. It's cashed seven times in his last 10 appearances.

The OVER is 8-3 in Philadelphia's last 11 Monday games.

Lowe's last five starts at Dodger Stadium have gone UNDER the total.
Dodgers are 8-3 in their last 11 home games.
The OVER is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings.
