The Boston Red Sox are aiming to complete a three-game interleague sweep here at Washington on the 4th of July. I like their chances with Eduardo Rodriguez (9-3, 4.11 ERA) on the bump. The 25 year old southpaw is 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 10 career interleague starts and had been solid for an extended period of time before getting knocked around in his last two starts. Note that Nationals are just 4-9 in their last 13 home games vs. a left-handed starter and Red Sox are 7-1 in Rodriguez's last 8 road starts.

Washington turns to right-hander Erick Fedde (1-3, 6.00) for his sixth start. Fedde gave up five runs on eight hits with a pair of homers in five frames at Philly his last time out. He has been tagged with at least three runs in each of his first five starts and owns a bloated 1.63 WHIP on the season.

Red Sox are 40-11 in their last 51 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. Nationals are 5-16 in their last 21 overall.

Under is 18-8-2 in Rodriguez' s last 28 road starts. Under is 10-2 in Nationals last 12 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record and 14-3 in their last 17 interleague home games.

8* play on UNDER.
