30* MLB BLOWOUT WINSDAY
Boston Red Sox RL -1.5
Well we cashed our GOW last night with the Red Sox -1.5 and we're going back to the well again with Boston and for almost the same reasons. Matt Cain, like Peavy, is ready to explode at any moment. He benefits greatly from pitching at AT&T. Fenway in the summer time is as close to a hitter's park as it gets. Furthermore, the Red Sox love to destroy mediocre pitching. They have now won 8 straight when facing a pitcher with a WHIP above 1.30. The Sox also dominate at home in inter-league play, winning 92 of 130.
Drew Pomeranz gets the nod for the Sox and you know he wants to give a great effort for his new club. I do like backing pitchers when they change leagues, almost blindly, but tonight is different because the Giants have seen him with his time with the Padres. However, with the exception to Posey, Pomeranz has owned the Giants lineup. Back in May, he pitched a 7 inning shutout gem against them, where they managed just two hits.
With Matt Cain being 1-6 in his last 7 road starts and the Giants continuing their bad play on the road against winning competition (5-23) look for Boston to roll again tonight.
