It will be pretty a pitcher’s duel on Sunday for bettors wagering MLB as the Giants host the Boston Red Sox.
It is supposed to be Tim Lincecum going for San Francisco while Boston counters with Jon Lester. With those 2 pitchers on the mound the total in MLB props and futures at the sportsbook will be low.
Betting MLB on the Boston Red Sox is typically very popular with bettors but that might not be the situation on Sunday. Tim Lincecum gets plenty of support when he is on the mound since he is the two-time NL CY Young champion. Lincecum is 8-2 on the season with a 2.86 ERA. Lincecum is known for his ability to generate high velocity, long stride, and unorthodox mechanics. In 2010 Tim Lincecum continued his dominance in the league by starting 5-0. His strikeouts added up quickly. However, at the end of May he entered a little bit of a slump.
Lester has nearly the same numbers for Boston as he is 8-3 with a 3.03 ERA. In six of his last seven starts, Lester has permitted 2 earned runs or less. He’s 3-2 on the road this season with a 3.12 ERA. Other major league clubs have made efforts to get Lester. He has been one of the Red Sox’ top-rated contenders since he signed with the team. Both the Texas Rangers and the Florida Marlins have attempted to get him in the course of trades for other players. The Rangers went for him in 2004, and the Marlins tried in 2006. The Sox were eventually able to hold Lester.
Before this series began the Giants and Red Sox had not met since 2007 and that was in Boston. The Boston Red Sox swept that three-game series. For the most recent time the clubs played in San Francisco, you have to go back to 2004. The San Francisco Giants took 2 of those 3 meetings for those wagering MLB.
Boston has rebounded to the American League East competition primarily because of their home results. On the road the Boston Red Sox are around the .500 mark. Boston has been really beating the ball as they are number one in the league in runs landed. With Lester on the mound they are always a threat to win and a sound choice by bettors wagering MLB, despite the fact that their ERA is not that excellent as a team.
The San Francisco Giants are far better at home than on the road so that is a thing to keep in mind when wagering MLB. Lincecum is a major part of the Giants roster and they win with pitching. He has been very excellent lately after a little hiccup. The question for the Giants is their offense which can sometimes have difficulty to score runs. That should make this game very low scoring against Boston. Although the Red Sox have the top offense in the league you can count on a very low total in this game as you are wagering MLB.
