Boston at Houston

img2:10 PM Eastern

Boston has the one pitcher going today that can end its losing streak, and that is Garrett Crochet, who pitched six shutout innings as the Red Sox beat Cincinnati 3-0 on Opening Day. He allowed three hits with eight strikeouts, and the game was an easy UNDER. Unfortunately, Boston has scored only 10 runs in four games since then, but it has an opportunity against Mike Burrows, who was torched for five runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Angels on Friday. Dating to last season, the Red Sox have stayed UNDER nine of 12 overall and six of nine against the AL West. Take the Red Sox to win, and grab the UNDER.
