RED SOX +118 5* MLB POD
Humber is coming off a perfect game and to me that usually means a hang over. There are 3 active pitchers that have thrown a perfect game Dallas Braden, Roy Halladay, and Mark Buehlre each were not nearly as effective in their next start. Buehlre gave up 5 ER in 6IP, Halladay 10 hits in 7 innings against the Padres and Braden gave up 4ER.

Humber has something else going on as well as his wife is expecting he actually had to leave Oakland because of this and he's still expected to pitch on Thursday night, but we will be on the hot hitting Red Sox either way and I tell you why. First of all they are red hot hitting .337 and scoring 6.47 runs per 9 vs. RHP over their last 5 games while the White Sox will face a lefty and are 25th in OPS vs. lhp on the year and are hitting .154 over the last 5 games. Humber does not have a good history vs. the Red Sox and the White Sox are 1-7 in their last 8 home games with him on mound. he has a 5.84 ERA vs. the Sox. What is different for Humber? He threw his slider (a pitch he's developed) almost as much as his fast ball this year. That will work against the Mariners who are ranked bottom of the league vs. the Pitch but the Red Sox are #1 in hitting vs. that pitch and were #4 a year ago. Boston is also #2 in OPS this year vs. RHP with a .836, Humber faced the mariners in a friendly park as the Mariners are ranked 27th in OPS vs. RHP.

on the other side the Red Sox will start Felix Doubrant who has actually been pretty good posting a 2.92 xFIP as he's got 11.25 K/9 and he's faced tough competition facing the Yankees, Rays, Toronto ranked 2, 7, and 12th in OPS vs. LHP. Today he gets to face the White Sox who are ranked 25th posting a .188 average vs. LHP this year.
