Another 1-1 day in the books for us as yesterday was one of the more interesting results that we've had.I had two unders in two separate games.
One of them involved Tarik Skubal and Trevor Rogers pitching, which should scream under.The Tigers jumped on Rogers and were up 7-0 at one point.
If the game went final, we would've won that bet.Instead, the teams combined to score 19 runs, obliterating my total.
Oh well, better than losing a heartbreaker.The Boston Red Sox have had one of the hottest stretches of their entire franchise history.Considering they've been around for over 100 years, that should put it into some context for you.
That stretch launched them from being sellers at the trade deadline to likely buyers, and potentially a playoff team.I really don't know what the issue was to start the season for Boston, or what caused the turnaround.
Their numbers for both pitching and hitting are strong, so maybe it was just a matter of time before it all worked out.Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Sonny Gray throws a pitch during the fifth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 30, 2026.(David Dermer/Imagn Images)Today they bring out Sonny Gray, someone who probably would've netted them a big return, but now will be the focal point of their rotation should they make the playoffs.
Gray has been good for years, but this season is his best since 2023 or maybe 2019.He is 12-2 with a 2.78 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP.
Originally, he was throwing better at home than on the road, but that has evened out.He has turned in a quality start in each of his past six road starts.
He hasn't faced the Athletics this season, but they are 8-for-29 against him overall.RED SOX COME BACK FROM THE DEAD, MOVE INTO POSTSEASON CONTENTION WITH REMARKABLE 14-GAME WIN STREAKThe Athletics have one of the worst records in baseball since June 11.It reminds me a bit of last year when they lost something like 20 of 21 games.
The team is not this bad, but ...
