BOL
Reds: An opposing starter the offenses are unfamiliar with should give the chuckers a decided edge and create a pitcher’s duel. In any pitcher’s duel, the dog is dangerous. It also does us no harm the Sox have not visited Great American Ballpark in over three years. Like the home pup here.
Brewers: So far it looks like Woodruff is the real deal. At 5-1 for quality starts and 4-2 for head-to-head wins I like his chances tonight versus the overvalued Lackey and the Cubs. At only one game out of the Wild Card and the Rockies slipping there is no good reason for the Brewers to give in or give up.
Under: This is the most pitching dominated game of the night, at least on paper. Richard has had his health issues but is a guy the Angels badly need to keep healthy going forward and he is 4-0 for quality starts since rejoining the Angels yet again. Verlander needs no explanation. He is one of the true “Top Guns” in Mlb and is coming in off six consecutive quality starts. Now completely familiar with his new team and home park he should rock’n’roll tonight.
Final.
