ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER the Total - Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles, Sunday at 1:05 PM ET

The Red Sox team ERA of 5.89 is only ahead of one of the 30 teams in MLB! Also, the Orioles 4.89 team ERA ranks them in the bottom third of the majors as well! Each of these teams has struggled with their pitching this season and Boston (now in sell mode) already traded away a pair of bullpen arms to the Phillies. The starting pitching match-up here also screams "over" which is why this total is so high too. Yes a 10.5 is a big number but our computer math model projects this game ending with more than a dozen runs. The Red Sox start Zack Godley. Opponents are hitting .333 against Godley this season and he is still seeking his first win. In 5 games (4 starts) Godley has a 6.87 ERA. Last season Godley registered a 5.97 ERA and this is the part of the reason he is now with his 3rd team in 2 seasons! The fact is the Red Sox are desperate for pitching and the Orioles are ranked 5th in the majors with a .453 slugging percentage and should crush Godley and the Boston bullpen today. Baltimore is starting Wade LeBlanc in this one. The veteran lefty has struggled in 4 of his 5 starts this season and that includes his season opening effort against the Red Sox. LeBlanc has a 7.89 ERA on the season and the Red Sox have a number of hitters in their lineup who have hit him hard in their career meetings. More of the same is expected here and this one is forecast to turn into a back and forth high-scoring affair with both teams turning to questionable bullpen arms early in this one after both starters get hit hard!
