Good Gravy, We hit em from all sides yesterday!
Smashing day for the MLB board!
53-50 & +7.07 units ytd
got some strong #'s on both sides at the Trop tonight:
from Messy's post:]
Wake is 18-2 with a 2.83 ERA and three saves in 35 career games -- 25 starts -- versus the Devil Rays. The knuckleballer has been dominant at Tropicana Field, winning all eight of his decisions there with a 2.33 ERA in 18 outings -- 12 starts -- while holding the Devil Rays to a .190 batting average
and on the other side:
Kazmir has dominated Boston at home, going 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA and allowing a .183 batting average in six starts, including a terrific outing on July 29 when he held the Red Sox to six hits while striking out eight in six shutout innings of a 5-2 win.
Kazmir's last two outings against the Red Sox are part of a stunning four-start stretch during which he is 2-0 with a minuscule 0.36 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 25 innings.
Kazmir, who has not allowed a run since the third inning of a win Aug. 4 against Baltimore
Manny Ramirez, who is hitting .320 with 40 career home runs against Tampa, has only managed to go 5-for-36 (.139) with a solo home run against Kazmir. David Ortiz has also struggled against the young hurler, hitting .147 (5-for-34) also with one homer, while averaging .298 at the plate with 27 career homers against the Rays.
Rays bats are also in a funk lately
I'd think the Boston pen would give them more than -110 here?
well all that and I really don't have a play tonight, may go small on tampa and the under but will probably just sip a few beers and enjoy the game,
GL Everybody
aw hell, 1 homer-fried unit on Tampa -110
