Big chalk for Monday June 10

[Phil Turcotte]

<b>Red Sox -200
**under 8.5 -110</b>

Sox coming off a pathetic showing this weekend against the world champs, hoping with Derrick Lowe on the mound they are a nice bounceback tonight. Lowe has been simply unhittable this year, with a 1.81 ERA and zero earned runs in his last two starts. Colorado has struggled on the road so far, 0-3 in interleague play, scoring THREE runs in three games. I think the under is a huge play here tonight.

Expos -140

Vazquez having a similarly strong year, and tossed a 3 hit complete game last Wednesday. Look for a strong showing tonight, possibly will add the under in this game later. Detroit dropped 6 straight, 10 of last 11.

Dodgers -165

Leaning Diamondbacks -170 but waiting to see if I chicken out b/c of Unit's back.

Taking more on the under in the Red Sox game as well ass adding the Diamondbacks play at -170.

I agree with you that the Red Sox will probably win. However, I just can't give up that much chalk on a team that just got swept at home by the D'backs (not even using the Big Unit). Red Sox seem to be a better play when they are on the road.

..........as do the Mariners!

Agree about giving up this much, but the play here is moreso on D. Lowe than on the Sox themselves. Lowe has been simply the best this year, as he aims to become the AL's first 10 game winner. If the price goes down, I will be back for more.
