New York at Boston

The New York Mets will take on the Red Sox at Fenway tonight, with an offense that has been sputtering. The Mets have managed just 11 runs in their last five games, and will face a top-flight pitcher in Josh Beckett. The Red Sox’s bats aren't exactly booming either as they have produced four runs or less in eight of their last 11 games. When you factor in the fact that these teams are also ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in bullpen ERA in all of baseball, both under three runs a game, this one does not figure to be a high-scoring affair. Beckett has produced an 8-1-1 mark to the UNDER when starting against a team that scored five or more runs in their last game. These teams have also combined to play 9-2-2 to the UNDER in their last 13 matchups. I'll play this one UNDER the total.
