I played Reds -105 based on the subsequent game of that Padres trend from yesterday, the reduced juice, and Leake's 0.82 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, and .158 batting average allowed in his three starts versus the Padres since last season.
Pitching matchup:
Underdog Starter: 12 straight starts - 3 runs or less. 1 HR L63 IP. L10 starts - ERA 2.71
Favorite Starter: 4 runs or more 4 of L7 starts. L2, 9IP, 17 H, 10 R; 9 HR's L8 starts. L7 starts - ERA 4.68. 2 games this season vs. this opponent: 13 2/3 IP, 15 H, 8 runs, 3 HR's.
As a redsox fan I don't know how he turned it around but Beckett has looked good
Jackson still has not won after a Cub win. He is 4-1 on 5 with a 5.54 ERA but he also has an ERA a little over 6 at night and a 1-6 record on the road along with a 6.70 road ERA so why would that be a lean. Essentially you want to play him at home in the day after a Cub loss
