MLB 3-Pack
(MLB) Boston vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -152.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
Play: Boston Red Sox
Rating: 8*

The red hot Boston Red Sox are 10-2 in their last 12 games. They're off back-to-back win against the Tampa Bay Rays and I like them to claim Wednesday's game as well with Rick Porcello on the mound.

Porcello (17-3, 3.22 ERA) is 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts against the Rays this season and he tossed six innings of one-run ball here at the Trop on June 28. Boston has won 11 of his last 12 starts overall, and in his last five he's 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA.

The Rays turn to Matt Andriese (6-5, 3.66) who has been charged with a total of 14 runs and 21 hits over 15 innings in his last three starts (all losses). Rays are 0-8 in Andriese's last eight starts vs. a team with a winning record.

We have a favorable umpire in Ron Kulpa as the Red Sox are 8-3 in their last 11 games with Kulpa behind home plate while the Rays are 2-5 in their last seven.
