#967/968 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 8 Runs – Boston Red Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays, Saturday at 6:10 PM ET – Yesterday's game continued a trend of high-scoring games between these clubs as it was over the total by the 5th inning. The over is 6-1 in the 7 games between these teams this season. Not only that, going further back it is a 24-11-1 run to the over in the last 36 games. These rivals meet and the scoreboard lights up and we expect more of the same today. The Rays Ryan Yarbrough has a 5.31 ERA at home this season and the over is 10-5 in his 15 starts this year. In his last 3 starts against the Red Sox - all within the past 12 months - Yarbrough has allowed 15 earned runs in 14 and 1 / 3 innings. Boston's Nathan Eovaldi has allowed 5 earned runs in 8 innings in his last two starts at Tampa Bay. Eovaldi's last road start was a good one against a depleted Yankees lineup two weeks ago. However, prior to this, Eovaldi had allowed 8 earned runs in 9 and 2 / 3 innings over two most recent road starts. Tampa Bay is 7-3 last 10 games and has averaged 6.4 runs per game in this stretch. The Rays lineup stays hot here. The Red Sox scored only 3 runs in defeat yesterday but entered the game on a 7-2 run with an average of 6.4 runs scored by Boston in the 7 wins. This total is in the 8 range and our computer math model shows this one getting into a range of about ten runs scored with each club enjoying success at the plate and having a solid shot of getting to 5 runs apiece which, of course, would mean at least 11 runs (6-5 final at a minimum) in this one.
