The Boston Red Sox opened the season at 2-10, but as predicted this team is one of MLB's elite clubs in 2011. They have since worn out opponents by going 55-26 or winning at a rate of 68% for 81 games, exactly half a season. Baltimore has been a disaster after looking like a team ready to move up when Buck Showalter took the managerial job late last season. That novelty has worn off, and the Birds have struggled to an 8-23 mark in their last 31 games. Tim Wakefield has a different role for the Sox, but this has been a strong suit for him. When he takes to the mound as a favorite of -150 or less, the Sox are 25-10 in his last 35 starts. Boston has also owned this town at 72-34 in their last 106 played here. Bergesen has pitched Baltimore to a 8-2 mark to the UNDER in his last 13 starts after his team plated 5 or more in their last game, as well as pitching UNDER to a 10-3 count with a total posted from 9-10.5. Wakefield has even trumped those numbers leading the Sox to a 45-22-9 mark to the UNDER with a total set from 9-10.5. Overall against the O's, Wake has seen just one OVER in his last six starts in Baltimore. The call is on Boston and play the UNDER.
