Craig Davis Saturday's Lineup
60 Dime ---- RED SOX -1 1/2 RUN LINE (With Holland and Lester as listed pitchers)

15 Dime ---- YANKEES -1 1/2 RUN LINE (With Sabathia as listed pitcher)

BOSTON RED SOX (on the run line -1 1/2) (must list both Holland and Lester) --- Wow, it couldn't have played out better for us, could it have? The Red Sox looked like puke last night, scoring just one run against Kevin Millwood and the Rangers, suffering a 5-1 setback at Fenway Park. A setback to the Rangers at Fenway??? Yes, it's true, and I'm shocked because it doesn't happen often. That's why I've rated this play so highly today... because I don't believe Texas has a chance in heck to keep this game within five runs today. Boston rarely loses to Texas to begin with (25-9 in the last 34 meetings), but it's even worse when these two meet in Fenway Park. Boston has taken 34 of the last 43 from Texas at Fenway and have done it by an average of over five runs per game. Tonight will be no different. Prior to last night's loss, Boston had taken 9 of the previous 10 meetings by an average of 5 runs per contest.

Jon Lester takes the hill for Boston tonight, and although he's only started against the Rangers three times in his career, he's 1-0 with a 4.40 ERA in those three starts. You see, for whatever reason, Lester has gotten some great run support when facing the Rangers and I don't see it any differently tonight. The Boston bats were quiet in Game 1 of this series vs. ace Kevin Millwood, but I can't imagine in a million years Derek Holland being able to keep them quiet tonight (more on him in a minute). Lester has been up and down so far this year, but his last start was definitely encouraging. Lester beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2, scattering 3 hits and one earned run over six innings while striking out 12 batters. At home, Lester has started 35 games and has compiled an 18-4 record, posting an ERA of 3.53.

Now, back to Holland. As many of you know who have been following me this baseball season, I absolutely hate pitchers who are bounced back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen. It sucks. Holland fits that mold. He's started just two games so far this year with an 0-1 record and a 1-2 overall record in all games pitched (including bullpen). Holland was roughed up in those two starts, including allowing 5 earned runs in five innings of work. Holland's season ERA is 6.33 and his WHIP is an atrocious 1.59, not to mention the fact he fatigues as the game wears on and begins laboring far earlier than most starting pitchers. His numbers get worse the longer he pitches, so our hope today is that the Red Sox get to him early and force Ron Washington to get to his bullpen earlier than normal. Holland stinks and so does the Texas bullpen.

Boston is 7-1 in their last eight home games vs. teams with a winning record, 5-0 in Lester's last five starts vs. a team with a winning record and 22-4 in Lester's last 26 starts as a home favorite. This game will be decided by the 6th inning as I expect the Red Sox to absolutely bombard the Rangers at home tonight.


NY YANKEES (on the run line -1 1/2) (must list CC Sabathia) --- CC Sabathia is now finally pitching in post-season form, allowing just nine earned runs in his last five games for a current ERA of 3.46. Sabathia seems to own the Rays in his career, too, winning seven times in 11 starts with only one loss. He's also struck out 73 batters in 81 innings of work vs. Tampa Bay while allowing the Rays to hit just .229 in those 11 starts. Sabathia has yet to face the Rays this year as a member of the Yankees, and now that they own the best record in the American League they plan on protecting it.

Right now the Yankees and Red Sox, as expected, are tied atop the American League East division as we head into the summer months. New York has won 10 of their last 13 home games while the Rays have continued to struggle on the road, winning just 12 times in 29 games. They send David Price to the hill, having pitched just 9 innings as a starter. Price made a name for himself in the 2008 playoffs, but for some reason wasn't thought to be "ready" to be promoted to the starting rotation this year until just recently. Though his 3.00 ERA is currently better than Sabathia's, let's also keep in mind he hasn't gone past the 6th inning yet and likely isn't ready to run his pitch count up. I'll take my chances against an Evan Longoria-less offensive lineup and a pitcher who hasn't yet proven himself as a full-fledged starter.

Minnesota Twins vs. Seattle Mariners:

Minnesota Twins -105

Take the Minnesota Twins on the Moneyline, We are getting solid value here today with the Twins who have Nick Blackburn (5-2, 3.50 ERA) on the mound for them since he has been lights out with an ERA of just 1.35 over his last 3 starts. The Twins are 5-0 in Blackburn's last 5 starts as a favorite and Blackburn is 1-0 over 3 career starts against the Mariners with an ERA of 3.50 while the Twins are 2-1 over those starts. Blackburn dominated this Mariners line-up back on May.10 allowing just 5 hits and 0 earned runs over 7 innings while striking out 6 batters. The Mariners are just 2-9 in their last 11 games in game 2 of a series and they are just 5-16 in Jarrod Washburn's (3-4, 3.22) last 21 home starts. The Twins are 5-2 in their last 7 games against the Mariners and the Mariners are just 7-16 in their last 23 home games against a team like the Twins who have a road winning record below .400. Take the Minnesota Twins as my MLB Free Play for Saturday afternoon.
