Thursday MLB

Looking at off the main stream selection in Cleveland at Boston.
Jake takes the ball for the Indians and on the surface that 6.18 road number really stands out, but if you consider 7/17 @LAA as his low point (3.2 innings pitched,12 hits, 7 runs, 5 earned with 2 HR's) he is back on track and efficiency has improved, 7/29 SEA going 8 innings with 104 pitches scattering 6 hits,
2 runs, the lone home run was the only mistake pitched to Ibanez in the 4th.
Josh Beckett the hard throwing RH Texan had high expectation in his NL to AL transition which many view as not being met. But you know the Sox have signed him to 3 year extension and he will be counted on come late season.
The pitching game is based on balance and adjustments, He too is back on track since 7/14 OAK (4.1 innings pitched, 8 hits, 7 runs with 1 HR).
Interesting indicator is Beckett adjusts very well in games after walking 4.
OPS numbers around .800~.900 for both teams. Bullpen is fair to shaky.
Today's total came out shaded Over at 9.5 compared to last 3 games at 11 and upward price movement was relatively late.

Buying 0.5 for Total of 10 runs.

CLE/BOS UNDER 10 at -109 for 2 units(L)
Should of played 5 innings, wheels came off in the 6th!
0-1 -2.18 units
