My first dog of the day failed when Johnathan Lackey got ousted by the Rangers, but this one looks like a real winner.
Boston Red Sox +130 at Detroit Tigers
Daisuke Matsuzaka vs Rick Porcello
What’s not to love? Dice-K is 0-3 with a 8.82 ERA facing the hottest pitcher in the league. Porcello led all starting pitchers in the month of May with a 1.50 ERA but this is definitely a mirage. Porcello’s fastball has some of the most movement in the entire majors, but that is his only major league worthy pitch. Expect Porcello to implode in June, starting with this disaster vs the Red Sox.
Prediction: 7-3 Red Sox win
Result: Win (+1.3 Units) Season: 1-1 (+0.30 Units)
