Money Line: -151.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
#915 ASA PLAY ON 8* Tampa Bay Rays -150 over Boston Red Sox, Monday at 4:05 PM ET - We will go action on the pitchers here. The Red Sox have Brayan Bello listed as a starter and the Rays are expected to start Shane McClanahan here. The odds that both pitchers get scratched is, of course, very minimal and this is both a play on McClanahan and a play against Bello so we are in good shape either way. The Rays are 19-9 in day games this season. The Red Sox are 8-9 in divisional games this season. Tampa Bay is 10-2 in the dozen starts McClanahan (8-1 record) has made this season and he was 8-0 on the year before being charged with his first loss of the season - despite allowing only 2 earned runs in 5.2 innings - in his most recent start. As for Bello, he is just 3-3 this season and also he allowed 9 earned runs in 8 innings in his 2 starts against TB in his career. Boston has lost 9 of 13 games overall. Even just looking at their last dozen games at home in Fenway Park, the Red Sox have lost 8 of last 12 games. So, all factors considered, a lot of value with the road team at a moderate yet very fair money line price in this one. Look for Tampa Bay to keep rolling as they have the best record in the league this season and continue to be consistently strong. Rays get the win this afternoon in Boston.
