LOSS

We got the win with Boston as a road favorite here last night and I like 'em again in a similar spot. I mentioned yesterday that we have a team here with a better road record than the home team's home record. Seattle can't score right now (3.9 per game over last seven) as they are 2-5 over that span. Boston meanwhile is 6-1 and they broke out of their offensive slump last night! We get the Sawx as a rare dog here again due to the fact that their starter, Kason Gabbard will be making his MLB debut. Not good for Boston but it's not like Seattle's countering with an ace. Felix Hernandez is 8-8 on the season with an early pushing 5. Like Moyer, he folds against strong offenses (he's 0-7 the last two seasons vs. teams scoring 5.2+ runs per game). If Boston really has broken out of their offensive slump, starting pitching won't matter much here. Again, rare to get a great team that's on a big winning streak as an underdog to a losing team on a losing streak with an average pitcher on the mound. We'll jump on it.
