Friday's Play--Still Undefeated....

[Keith]

since switching to the Bull Durham theme. However all that means is that I am 1-0-1. LOL. I won last night with the Orioles. Sure would be nice to win another one tonight.

Not going to be around at all tonight, as I am going to see Arc Angels in Manhattan (that's the group with Stevie Ray's rhythm section, Double Trouble, along with guitarists Doyle Bramhall and Charlie Sexton). Should be great.

For Friday I found a total that I think will go WAAAAY over. And no, it is not the Rangers/W. Sox (that one just looks too easy). For Friday I like the over 10 runs in the Rays/Red Sox. Here's why:

First, the last 10 times these teams have met, they have alternated under/over. Last time was an under .

The Sox start righty Brad Penny. On the year he is 2-1 but with a 7.61 ERA, a 1.82 WHIP and a .303 batting average against. In 23.2 innings, he has allowed 30 hits and 13 walks, with only 14 strikeouts. At Fenway this year his ERA is 10.00 and his batting average against is .316. In his last 3 starts he has allowed 19 hits and 6 walks in 14.2 innings, for an ERA of 5.79 and a WHIP of 1.760. For his career against the Rays he is 1-3 with a 5.26 ERA. This year he is 0-1 against them with a 4.50 ERA. The Rays are batting .264 against righties this year, but are averaging 5.7 runs. They are also batting a reasonable .268 over the past 7 days as well. Penny gets tossed aside tonight like....well, like an old penny.

The Rays start righty James Shields. The Red Sox, who are batting .287 over the past 7 days, and who bat .306 at home, are batting a very solid .283 against righties, also averaging 5.7 runs per game against them. Shields is 3-2 on the year with a 3.51 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP and a .235 batting average against. But wait--there's more. For his career against the Sox he is 3-5 with a 5.17 ERA. This year he is 1-1 against them, with a 4.97 ERA and a .294 batting average against. At Fenway this year he is 0-1 with an 8.44 ERA and a .375 batting average against. From 2006-2008 he was 0-3 at Fenway with a 10.13 ERA and a .360 batting average against. Speaking of batting averages against, check these numbers out---each with at least 16 at bats against Penny: Drew .400; Lowell .316; Ortiz .421; and Pedroia .438. The Red Sox are 18-8 to the over this year. Tonight goes over as well.

I like this one ALOT fellas.

Friday's play is over 10 runs in the Rays/Red Sox.
