Detroit Tigers vs. Boston Red Sox (MLB) - 7:10 PM EDT Premium Pick
Pick: Money Line: -180 Boston Red Sox Rating: 9* Mike's MLB Monday Line-Mover (WIN)
This may be a pitching matchup between 2 rookie phenoms but they seem to be going in the opposite directions. Detroit's RHP Alex Faedo has not looked good over the last 3 with a ballooning 6.92 ERA while Boston RHP Josh Winckowski is blistering with confidence after throwing 5 innings of shutout ball versus Oakland on Wednesday. The Tigers have struggled versus the Red Sox (4-10 overall) losing 4 of their last 5 @ Fenway. Besides going 8-18 on the road, 1-7 versus the AL East, the Mo-Towners have gone an anemic 13-25 against winning clubs this season. The dagger for us has to be their lack of hitting RHP'ing. They're registering an absurd .189 on the road which is a clear 11 percentage points under the Mendoza line (named after ex-Pirate Mario Mendoza 3B/SS). The flip side of the coin looks @ a Boston team that's gone a red-hot 13-4 in June after a miserable 10-19 start to the season. They come into this winning 5 consecutive series & have gone 9-1-2 their L12. The Bean-Towners have done well of late in Game 1's @ 5-0 & are a perfect 8-0 versus a + 1.30 WHIP starter. They've hit .258 @ home versus RHP (a large .69 advantage) & have accumulated a 25-17 record versus the patsies this season. Let's go to historic Fenway Park to confidently play the BOSTON RED SOX on the ML as my MLB Line-Mover!
