Chasing while furious the Rockies blew a sure RL cover against the Giants because Bud Black decided to use Mrs. Doubtfire in the ninth instead of, you know, his good closer in Daniel Bard (was available). Speechless, and Black should be glad I don't live in Denver because just got my monthly toilet paper sub from Amazon so I got plenty to use!! Sox starter Matt Dermody has a career 5.60 ERA in 27.1 MLB relief innings and a 4.50 ERA at Triple-A this season. Leadoff hitter Alex Verdugo is out. Cleveland's Aaron Civale is 23-1 with a 3.19 ERA when he receives at least 3 runs of support; Cleveland is 31-4 in them. I expect at least 3 runs scored.

Always shop for the best line as I've played this personally at +120 this morning. The Guardians continue to struggle as they rank 28th vs. LHP and 29th vs. RHP in wOBA and wRC+. This is a nice matchup for the Red Sox against Aaron Civale, who really lacks strikeout upside to help get himself out of trouble against good-hitting teams. I have the Red Sox winning 51 percent of simulations, which makes my line -104.
