Featured Tip from ATS King

Pick Details

Sport / league:: MLB
Event / fixture:: Boston at Chicago White Sox
Event date: Tue, 21 May 2013 at 10:10 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Boston Red Sox @ 1.70 (William Hill)
Tip Result:: Loss

The 27-17 Boston Red Sox are 5-0 in their last 5 and 5-0 in their last 5 on the road. They are 8-2 in their last 10 against the White Sox and 5-1 in their last 6 on the road against Chicago. Jon Lester takes the mound with a solid 2.72 ERA and 6-0 W/L record for the season. Lester will feel good about is chances of going to 7-0 knowing that the White Sox are 3-7 against left handed pitching this season.

The 19-23 Chicago White Sox are 4-2 in their last 6 but only 1-4 in their last 5 at home. Starting pitcher Dylan Axelrod has a 4.27 ERA and 1-3 W/L record for the season.

The Red Sox are 20-11 as the favourite this season while the White Sox are 10-15 as the underdog.

I give the edge to the Red Sox in this one and think they're fair value at 1.70.
