MLB

1 Pick.

7:10PM EST: Red Sox F5 ML -120 (2 Units).

BAL SP Cade Povich has a 12.56 ERA in 4 road starts. One of them was decent, 1 ER on 4.2 IP @ NYY while the Yanks bats were in a massive slump. He still walked 5 batters though. In his 3 other road starts he's allowed 5 runs on 3.1 IP, 8 runs on 1 IP, and 6 runs on 5.1 IP. Despite this being just his 13th career MLB start, he is making his 2nd start against the same team for a 3rd time.

In the first 2 instances he went on the road first, and then pitched at Home where he has a 3.6 ERA. He went into TOR and allowed 6 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks across 5.1 IP. Then allowed 6 runs on 7 hits and 5 walks across 4.1 IP vs TOR at Home. He went into NYY and allowed 1 ER on 1 hit and 5 walks across 4.2 IP. Then he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits and 5 walks across 5.1 IP. He faced BOS at Home on August 17th, allowed 2 ER on 6 hits and no walks across 6.1 IP. Now he goes into Fenway, one of the most hitter friendly parks in baseball. Young pitchers tend to struggle on the road and the 2nd time facing the same lineup. Povich is a prime example of that.

BOS SP Brayan Bello is coming off a tough start @ NYM but had been pitching well. He posted a 3.0 ERA in August and has a 3.78 ERA in 8 starts since the All-Star Break. He's also allowed just 3 runs in his last 3 Home Starts combined during the First 5 Innings. The Orioles Bats have gone cold, scoring just 4 combined runs in their last 4 games.
