The Boston Red Sox had their game rained out yesterday, only after they took a 5-0 lead over the Baltimore Orioles. Tonight they'll carry the momentum over from the start of that game, and into the series-opener against the Minnesota Twins.
Since every MLB wager on a run line or total auto-lists pitchers, I want you to be sure the two pitchers on your ticket, when making this play, are Kyle Gibson and Brian Johnson. If they are not the pitchers of record when making your play, disregard this play.
Johnson faces the Twins in his final start before moving back to the bullpen, and he'll be out to make the most of it for the American League East leaders. Last time out, the left-hander took the loss while giving up two runs, albeit both unearned, in five innings against Detroit. He'll be at his best tonight.
Meanwhile, Gibson opened the second half with a rough outing against the lowly Kansas City Royals by allowing four runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings in a loss. He's posted a 3.91 ERA in four starts in July, and now he faces the toughest lineup in the bigs.
Take Boston, which will roll past Minnesota with ease.
