The Rays' Taj Bradley makes his second start after fanning seven Yankees last Friday. This is a much better matchup strikeout-wise: Boston fans the eighth-most versus right-handed pitchers, while the Yankees strike out at the fourth-lowest rate against right-handers. Look for Bradley, who threw 93 pitches against New York, to record at least six strikeouts. But please shop around because this prop is available at -120 or lower at multiple books.

Taj Bradley missed plenty of bats last season, recording a 28.0 percent strikeout rate. In his two rehab starts while recovering from a pectoral strain, he combined for 15 strikeouts across 11 innings. In his season debut against the Yankees, he posted seven strikeouts over six innings. The Rays would likely love to get some length out of Bradley, given that they used six relievers in Tuesday’s game. A long leash against a Red Sox team that is tied for the second-most strikeouts in baseball leaves Bradley with a favorable opportunity to hit this over.

The Rays just used a bunch of the bullpen last night in a 12 inning game and Taj Bradley looked solid vs the Yankees in his first start off injury. He went six full innings on 93 pitches in that outing and he should be without much limitations (if any) here. Of course this is in Fenway, away from the friendly confines of his home ballpark in Tampa, but I still like taking a shot at this price.
