Game: Baltimore Orioles @ Boston Red Sox 1:00 PM Eastern
Pick: Boston -146
Not many left-handers have been as good as Jon Lester when taking the ball at hitter-friendly Fenway Park. The Sox are 73-43 when he takes the ball at home. More importantly, Lester is pitching great right now, allowing just 4 total runs in his last four starts covering 30 innings. The same can't be said of Miguel Gonzalez, the Baltimore starter, who has not gotten past the fifth inning in three consecutive starts. Overall, the Birds are just 3 -8 in his last 11 road starts as a dog. Boston has been winning at home to low totals at 8-2 in their last 10 to a total of 7 to 8.5, and over Leter's last 24 starts here they are 17-7. Take Boston in Game one of today's doubleheader.
Not taking into account that Lester gets NO run support regardless of the quality of the opposing pitcher because the Red Sox offense is non existent most of the time.
