MLB FREE PICK: Take the over. According to the latest MLB trends, Boston is 10-3 Over last 13 Tuesday games, Boston is 33-15-3 Over last 51 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game, 5-1 Over in Buchholz’s last 6 starts during game 2 of a series. Miami is 21-9-2 Over in Marlin’s last 32 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5, 21-9-2 Over last 32 home games, 6-0 Over in Buehrle’s last 6 starts on grass and 6-0 Over in Buehrle’s last 6 starts as a home favorite. Boston was shut down by Josh Johnson last night but will put up more runs against Buehrle, who they have seen many more times from his days with the White Sox. David Ortiz actually has a .345 average against the lefty with 2 homers. Buchholz is coming off a solid start but overall owns a 5.77 ERA and has a 1.56 WHIP. Both pitchers should struggle tonight against quality lineups.
