Tips and Trends
Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays
Red Sox (-$1.50, O/U 8 over -$1.15): Boston has dropped eight of its last nine road contests, batting just .202 in these games. The Red Sox are 4-13 in their last 17 away matchups, having lost three straight road series and five of six road series since the All-Star Game. But Boston has one big thing in its favor – Josh Beckett. The Cy Young Award candidate is 14-4 with a 3.10 ERA. He is 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA in his last six starts. The right-handed ace has limited opponents to three or fewer runs in 15 of his past 18 starts. The Red Sox are 25-10 (71 percent) in Beckett’s last 35 starts as road chalk. Beckett has had problems pitching in Toronto, though. He’s 1-2 with a 6.85 ERA in four career appearances at Rogers Centre. Kevin Youkilis is slated to return after sitting out a five-game suspension.
The Red Sox are 2-7 in Beckett’s last nine starts versus Toronto.
The Under has cashed 5 of the last six times the Red Sox have faced a left-hander on the road.
Key Injuries - J.D. Drew (groin) is questionable.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side of the Day)
Blue Jays: Toronto is 1-4 in its last five games. The Blue Jays are 1-6 following an off day. Ricky Romero (10-5, 3.70 ERA) entered the All-Star break with a 3.00 ERA. But since then, the rookie left-hander is 3-2 with a 5.45 ERA in six starts. Romero was the losing pitcher in two of Toronto’s losses to Boston this season. Romero had a 9.72 ERA in just 8 1/3 innings during those two contests. He yielded 10 walks in those two games. Boston is 5-4 versus Toronto this year. Toronto has won five of the past six times Romero has been an underdog. The over is 4-1 in Romero’s lasts five starts. The Blue Jays are 10-2-2 to the under in their last 14 home games when meeting a team with a winning record. The under has cashed six of the last seven times these two teams have met.
The Blue Jays are 0-6 in their last six Tuesday games.
Key Injuries - Scott Downs (toe) is on the DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Florida Marlins at Houston Astros
Marlins (-$1.12, O/U 9 under -$1.25): The Marlins have won nine of their last 11 games. They have scored six or more runs in eight of their last nine games. Florida is average 6.6 runs per game during August. Hanley Ramirez is on a 12-game hitting streak. Ricky Nolasco (8-8, 5.44 ERA), however, is off his worst outing ever. Nolasco surrendered 10 runs in 3 1/3 innings last Wednesday at home against the Astros. It was the most runs and shortest start Nolasco has had in his four-year big league career. Nolasco had been strong following a terrible beginning. Before his last start, Nolasco hadn’t given up more than two earned runs in each of his four previous starts. Florida is 12-2 the last 14 times Nolasco has pitched with five days rest. Florida has defeated Houston in six of its last seven meetings. The over has cashed six straight times in the series.
The Marlins have gone Over the total 9 straight times.
Nick Johnson is day-to-day with a hamstring strain
PROJECTED SCORE: 5
Astros: Bud Norris (3-0, 3.00 ERA) became the first pitcher in Houston history to win his first three starts. He was fortunate to beat the Marlins, though, in his last start on Wednesday giving up five runs and 10 hits in five innings. Luckily for Norris, his Astros teammates lit up Ricky Nolasco for 10 runs. The 24-year-old right-hander was 4-9 with a 2.63 ERA in 19 minor league starts this season with 112 strikeouts in 120 innings. Norris is considered a good, but not great prospect perhaps more suited as a relief pitcher. He could be vulnerable to the Marlins, a good fastball hitting club. Morale could be a problem for Houston. The Astros just concluded a 2-5 road trip. They are 5-13 following a day off. Shortstop Miguel Tejada is hitless in his last 15 at-bats. Houston has lost on 11 of the past 14 Tuesdays.
The Over has cashed in 6 of Houston’s last seven games.
Key Injuries - Doug Brocail (shoulder) is on the DL.
