Thursday's MLB plays

Play: Boston -130 (action vs. Lester)

Time: 4:05 p.m. ET

Reasoning: I like Jon Lester to stop the bleeding for the Red Sox. He has a 2.67 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP overall and a 1.80 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP in his last three starts. The Blue Jays will counter with Mark Buehrle, who has seven wins against one loss. That lone loss? It came against Boston on April 25 when he gave up seven runs on 12 hits with three walks. The Red Sox score about a half run more per game vs. LH.




Play: Tampa Bay +111 (action vs. Cobb)

Time: 4:05 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Oakland was held to just one hit on Wednesday and it will square off against Alex Cobb tonight. Cobb didn't give up a run in either of his last two starts. The Rays were 7-0 in his home starts last season and in his five career starts against Oakland he's thrown two complete games. Cobb has a 1.89 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP in his three starts this season.



Record: 86-51-5 (62.8%)
Bankroll: +132.02%
