Las Vegas - Holding my nose and trying not to barf while picking the Red Sox over the the A's. Generally HATE everything Boston, every team, but not the city, which is spectacular. This afternoon, James Paxton takes the hill at Fenway and he has been dealing. He has allowed just 4 earned runs over the last 23 innings which works out to a SKINNY 1.57 ERA. You can throw 25 Ks into the equation which is one of the reasons why Pax has not lost a game since the end of May. Gimme the YUCK Sox for the money!

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. There is on fire, and there is EN FUEGO! The Braves are THAT team. They have won 10 of the last 11 (91%) and 18 of the last 20 (90%). And with Tampa losing FIVE in a row, the scent of money might have these letters...ATL! (EckSTATS do not include yesterday's action).
