Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays

At 7:10pm our complimentary selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Boston Red Sox.  Starting pitchers can't get much hotter than tonight's matchup of righthanders.  Tampa's young Matt Garza and Boston's veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield both have ERAs slightly over two runs and WHIPs under 1.00 in their last three starts.  But for all of his success, Wakefield has continued to struggle on the road this season, going 1-3 with a ERA of 4.37 and WHIP of 1.33 away from Fenway.  That's not unusual for a knuckleballer whose home park is an outdoor facility and who has to occassionally pitch in some indoor arenas like Minnesota's Metrodome or Tampa's Tropicana Field.  Wakefield may be 7-2 in his last nine starts against the Rays, but he has given up fourteen runs in his last three starts against Tampa covering only fourteen innings.  The Sox will continue to miss the bat of David Ortiz who, it was just announced, will miss the upcoming All Star Game in New York.  They will also be without outfielder Coco Crisp who ironically is serving the suspension that he was hit with for rushing the mound against the Rays' James Shields.  Crisp had been red hot before he started serving his suspension.  With Tampa's win over Boston on Monday night, the home team has now won every game played between these two AL East squads in 2008, and Tampa is 30-9 its last 39 at Tropicana Field.  Take the Rays.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.<br><br>Al McMordie was 1-1 on Monday night, as he cashed with the Tigers, but lost with the Rockies.  Tonight, on Tuesday, Big Al is releasing 1 selection and it's a Totals play in the National League out of an angle that's <b>CASHED 8 STRAIGHT TIMES</b>.  Get this <b>EASY WINNER</b> right now.
