AAA's VERY EARLY MLB "ASSASSIN!" (HUGE 6-0 TO OPEN JULY!)
(MLB) Boston vs. Washington,
Money Line: -119.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Boston Red Sox.

Eduardo Rodriguez (9-3, 4.11 ERA), gets the nod for the Red Sox and he'll be looking to build off his team's 11-4 victory yesterday. Rodriguez most recently gave up five runs off seven hits with two walks over six innings in a loss to the Yankees on Friday. Rodriguez hasn't looked his best of late, but he has to be feeling confident that he can bounce back here as he's 4-1 with a 4.14 ERA on the road and an even better 3-0 with a 2.86 ERA in all "day" contests. The Nationals hand the ball to Erick Fedde (1-3, 6.00) who gave up five runs off eight hits and three walks over five innings while also striking out three. Stephen Strasburg's return to the starting rotation is imminent, just as Fedde's move back to the bullpen is as well (note that he's 0-3 with a 4.76 ERA at home and 0-2 with a 4.63 ERA in all day games.) Note as well that Boston is now 6-1 (+4.5 units) in all inter-league games, while Washington is just 9-10 (-4.6 units) in all inter-league games (also just 8-16 against southpaws, while Boston is 45-19, +16 units) against right-handed starters. We're banking on Rodriguez to easily out duel his inconsistent counterpart. Lay the price, play on the NATIONALS.
