The Rays are the more explosive offensive team, averaging 5.9 runs per game on the road compared to the 3.6 the Sox are averaging at home. Plus, Peavy is off to a rocky start for the Sox with a 6.00 ERA and a WHIP of 1.500. I’ve backed Peavy a lot in his career, but I have to go against him tonight. The Rays are 6-0 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, 5-0 in their last 5 games as a road underdog and 14-3 in their last 17 games vs. a right-handed starter. Shields have struggled on the road at times, but the Rays are 4-0 in his last 4 starts vs. a team with a losing record and 7-2 in his last 9 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. The White Sox are just 8-21 in their last 29 during game 3 of a series, and I expect them to drop another Game 3 tonight.
