00:00Austin Red Sox, who tried to sweep the Yankees but lost last night,

00:03now get down to Baltimore and take on Sugano.

00:06Now, we do have an opener tonight, which is Bernardino, the lefty,

00:09going to give way to Richard Fitz, the right-handed pitcher.

00:12If you look at this line, it's roughly a pick-em,

00:14depending on where you're shopping at right now,

00:16but runs are expected and listed at nine and a half here.

00:19Do we fade the, hey, we're on the road on Sunday night

00:23and we got to travel and Baltimore's home and waiting?

00:25What's the deal tonight?

00:26Is Baltimore going to rise up?

00:27Because Sugano hasn't been a very good pitcher this year for Baltimore.

00:31No, but he's been very good over the last month.

00:34He's already now 4-0, 3-0 decisions in his last seven outings.

00:39This is going now for what?

00:40His fifth straight win for Baltimore,

00:43who actually just played Boston a couple of games in Boston

00:47and handled them, actually really crushed them there.

00:51So Sugano's actually started to come into his own here.

00:55The problem is he's given up 21 home runs this year,

00:58but he hasn't given up one over the last four starts,

01:01which I think goes a long way as to telling you

01:03why they've had some success with him on the mound.

01:07I don't think if it's one thing,

01:09Baltimore has played Boston very tough this year.

01:12These teams know one another.

01:14And I like Baltimore at home in this spot.

01:18I think Boston riding high off of a four-game series

01:21in which they won three of four Sunday night.

01:24I think all signs point to Baltimore getting it done here.
