5* Best Bet
(MLB) Boston vs. Detroit,
Money Line: 100.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Win
Taking the TIGERS here. I am doing this game at 2pm on Wednesday. Why? A pure scheduling fade of Boston. Had a makeup game Monday. Then Tuesday and Wednesday night games in Baltimore. This is a quick turn around for them. 1pm start. What time they getting to the stadium 11? When did they get in last night? Midnight at the earliest. Just a bad spot for them. Boyd has a 2.08 August ERA in 2 starts, a .174 BA against and 1.08 WHIP. A favorable home split adds to his value. Clay Bucholz looks like he will be getting the ball for Boston. Wonderful. I will happily fade away on this guy and his 5.34 road ERA. Bullpen, starting. Doesn't matter. He will give up 3-4 runs in the first couple innings. Take out the 2 years he went 28-8 and he is 48-52 in his career. And his ERA goes up from 4 to 4.64. The guy is mediocre at best. 5* Best Bet DETROIT TIGERS
