5 Unit Play. Take the Boston Redsox +120 over the Tampa Bay Rays
(Wed @ 7pm est). The Redsox are getting a good price here coming off the loss to the Rays and with Penny on the mound coming off one of his worst losses of the year giving up six runs to Oakland at home on July 29th over the course of five innings. This came off his start against the Orioles when he pitched a shutout through six innings. Usually when Penny gets shelled he comes back with a quality start and we are going to bank on that once again. Keep in mind that David Price is quite a talent, but certainly taking the Boston Redsox off a loss and Penny off a loss is worth the dog price here. Folks, this is a 62-43 team that is capable of defeating any pitcher on any given night - and we get them once again off a loss and Penny on a bounce-back. Price could have a let down today as he pitched brilliantly against Kansas City giving up just 1 run in his last start. In fact, I've noticed a trend with Price, over his last seven starts, check out his earned run tabulations with most recent to most latest: 1, 6, 4, 1, 6, 1, 5. The Redsox are 4-0 when they face a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30 and the Rays are 4-11 when Randazzos behind home plate.
Indian Cowboy 8/5
