The Diamondbacks head into Fenway tonight to open a series with the Red Sox fresh off their sweep of the New York Mets at Citi Field. Boston has dropped six of its last 10 games and is coming off two straight losses to the Yankees in New York.
- The total has gone UNDER in 11 of the D-backs' last 12 games after consecutive runline wins.
- The Red Sox are 12-5 in their last 17 games against the National League.
- The Diamondbacks are 8-20 on the runline in their last 28 games.
The pitching matchup tonight will feature two lefty hurlers who have been massive disappointments for their respective teams. David Price has shown glimpses of the high-priced ace he was paid to be this year but owns a 4.38 ERA through 24 starts and has been roughed up in two straight starts.
Patrick Corbin has not earned a win since June 21 and the D-backs have dropped six straight matches in games he has pitched. Although he pitches worse at home, he still owns a bloated 4.00 ERA on the road.
This one is tough to call with such erratic pitchers on the mound and I will most likely be avoiding any action on this game.
