Are you kidding me? There is so much value in this play, these two teams are in the same division and Baltimore is playing much better baseball than Boston. Everyone though Boston was moving in the right direction...no way, they lost to the Oakland A's, that is FUCKING PATHETIC. A little back story on this game is that Baltimore is comming off a huge series win over a team they always lose to while Buck got his 1000th win. Their bats are really getting hot and I will count on Adam Jones and Weiters to really light it up in this little league park 2morrow. On to the game.
Wei-Yin Chen has been a pleasant addition for the O's and they really like this kid, the coaching staff has a lot of confidence in him to go at least 6 strong every game. He has an ERA of 2.22 and he has kept the ball down and over the plate. I've watched two of his games and he is a good enough pitcher to keep Baltimore in this game. Boston has never seen him and Bobby Valentine has nothing to prepare them...the guy is an idiot. Favors Chen heavily.
On the other hand we have Lester, who has been shit this year and worse at home. I don't think he turn it around. Although he has a great record against Baltimore, 8-0 with a very low ERA against them. He isn't the same pitcher as before and his team isnt as good before. Baltimore and Boston have some really good battles last year, but I think Baltimore is the better team this year. Boston lead the series 10-8 last year with a much better team. I see baltimore taking this series. I see weiters and jones going deep off this bum lester.
Baltimore +153
