The identity of the Red Sox has been everchanging this season. The starting rotation deserves all the credit for this. Dobbins, Giolito, Crochet, Bello but not Buehler. The plan has been better and Marcello is electric at third base. There is one glaring concern. Roman Anthony is batting below .100. How worried are we about that? Mayer is staying, but Roman needs some more time. He cannot hit off-speed pitches. They pivot to Drake Maye. Is the pressure on the second year QB?

Boston Red Sox vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Red Sox at Mariners 9:40PM ET—Lucas Giolito will start for Boston. Giolito in eight starts has an ERA of 5.45 with WHIP of 1.54. The right hander fans 17.9% with 8.1% walks. Ground balls served at 40.2% with 1.36 home runs per nine innings. Logan Gilbert is starting for Seattle.
Roman Anthony has arrived in Boston and the pressure is on. As the youngest player in Major League Baseball joins the Red Sox roster, his elite patience and ability to drive the ball are now front and center. But with no room for excuses for the Red Sox, can he help turn things around? Tom Caron and Alex Speier break down what Anthony brings to the lineup, why the team has to start winning immediately, and how Alex Cora will handle the challenge of developing both Anthony and Marcelo Mayer. Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow stops by to talk about Anthony's call-up, the ongoing development of the roster, and the balancing act between winning games and giving young players reps. He also addresses sloppy play, bullpen fatigue, and the return of pitchers like Giolito and Buehler. Later, Hunter Dobbins joins the show to reflect on his now viral quote about the Yankees, what it meant to pitch at Yankee Stadium, and how he's handled his rapid rise to the big leagues. He talks about his bond with Red Sox fans, his mindset on the mound, and why he believes in this team's future. Plus, a look at what we learned from the Yankee Stadium series, who Hunter Dobbins really is, and how the Red Sox might handle a tough upcoming West Coast road trip. All that and more on this week's episode of 310 To Left presented by your New England Ford Dealers hosted by Tom Caron and Alex Speier.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk Tuesday MLB betting. Best bets as always.
Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The guys also give out best bets. The MLB Friday podcast with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner previewed the full Friday slate with in-depth betting analysis. Munaf opened by noting seasonal transitions while Griffin celebrated being up 22 units in May. Munaf described his bad beat with Arizona's bullpen meltdown against the Phillies. Griffin praised Corbin Burns' outing despite Munaf's loss. For Cubs vs Reds, Andrew Abbott was confirmed for Cincinnati while Colin Rea was probable for Chicago. Rea's 5-1 record against the Reds was clouded by a 5.88 ERA. Griffin warned against trusting Reds closer Emilio Pagan, recommending first-five bets for Reds backers. Munaf noted mild wind at Wrigley, making early scoring possible. For Orioles vs White Sox, confusion surrounded Chicago's starting pitcher—Sean Burke or Jared Shuster. The Orioles were heavy -215 favorites. Munaf hesitated to back either side, citing Zach Eflin's recent struggles and Chicago's poor form. Griffin criticized the White Sox as dysfunctional, saying backing them was dangerous. Milwaukee faced Philadelphia with DL Hall starting against Taijuan Walker. Philadelphia was favored at -133. Bryce Harper was listed day-to-day with an elbow contusion. Griffin emphasized Milwaukee's overreliance on base stealing and bullpen fatigue. Munaf supported Philadelphia, noting their 19-9 home record. The A's faced the Blue Jays with Jeffrey Springs against Chris Bassett. The Blue Jays, favored at -160, saw Bassett excel at home (1.61 ERA over 28 innings). Springs pitched well but suffered from bullpen collapses. Munaf leaned Blue Jays and under 8.5. For Rockies vs Mets, Peterson faced Freeland with Mets huge -306 favorites. Freeland struggled at Coors but was slightly better on the road. Munaf suggested Mets team total overs while Griffin found no value backing Colorado. In Giants vs Marlins, Harrison faced Quantrill. Griffin noted Quantrill's recent turnaround (4 wins, 6 ER in May), while Harrison's pitch limit posed risk. Munaf agreed Miami offered home underdog value. Guardians hosted Angels with Luis Ortiz vs Jose Soriano. Soriano's control issues were concerning (14 walks in 4 starts). Griffin favored Cleveland's patient lineup, citing bullpen advantage. Boston played Atlanta with Giolito vs Grant Holmes. Griffin detailed Red Sox clubhouse turmoil and lack of cohesion. Munaf pointed out Giolito's inconsistency, especially against Atlanta earlier. Both leaned Braves team total over. In Cardinals vs Rangers, Lieberatore likely faced Jack Leiter. The Rangers had gone 24-6 to the under at home. Both hosts strongly supported the under 8.5. For Tigers vs Royals, Casey Mize opposed Seth Lugo. Griffin backed Kansas City due to Mize's IL return and KC's home form. Munaf highlighted Lugo's good career numbers vs Detroit. Tampa Bay visited Houston with Pepiot vs Valdez. Griffin respected Houston's design against lefties. Munaf leaned under, noting Framber's 4-1 under record at home and Pepiot's 3-0 road unders. In Pirates vs Padres, Keller faced Pivetta. Griffin liked first-five unders due to San Diego's offensive struggles but found little value elsewhere. Munaf noted Keller's poor past vs Padres. The Nationals faced the Diamondbacks with Irvin vs Kelly. Griffin leaned over given bullpen issues and Arizona's park. Munaf added Arizona's historical home unders with Kelly but agreed on D-backs team total over. Seattle hosted Minnesota with Zebby Matthews vs Brian Wu. Wu's home dominance (12-1) made Seattle a strong pick. Both leaned under 7. Lastly, Yankees faced Dodgers with Max Fried vs Gonsolin. Fried was surprisingly favored at -116. Griffin was shocked Dodgers were home underdogs, citing bullpen risks for New York. Munaf also preferred Dodgers ML and slightly leaned over. For best bets, Griffin chose Phillies ML at -126 while Munaf picked under 8.5 in Cardinals-Rangers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is Chris Sale about to get outdueled by Garrett Crochet at Fenway Park? Travis and Tom Caron dig into the emotions around Sale's return to Boston as he faces his former team for the first time. They break down the matchup, compare each pitcher's arsenal, and discuss whether the Red Sox have an advantage after years of watching Sale from the dugout. With the team sitting at 22-23, Travis and TC talk through the biggest factors behind the Red Sox's inconsistent start. Can they bounce back after being swept by the Tigers, and is this weekend's series against the Braves a chance to make a real statement? They also weigh in on whether it's time to look beyond the current roster for reinforcements. Travis and Will Middlebrooks preview the rest of the weekend's pitching plans with Giolito and Bello set to take the ball. Will Devers take Sale deep? Can the Red Sox contain Atlanta's offense and play clean defense? The episode wraps with a big Hall of Fame debate. Now that Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are eligible, should players connected to PEDs be reconsidered too? Travis and Will discuss how the Hall could change and what kind of reaction to expect from fans.

Nobody was hurt in the making of this episode. It was prior to this episode that some alleged perpetrator fractured Zach's hand with a 125mph exit velocity off the bat. During this episode we were watching a game against the Toronto Blue Jays that hopefully ended well (it did not end well). It was the first game Giolito was back on the mound for the Sox and, fortunately, happy surprise! Decent performance, well-located pitches. It was everything near the end and afterwards that, you know... Anyway! Here's a little bite-sized episode - you be the judge and the jury. Did Ian break Zach's hand?

Garrett Crochet flirted with history on Sunday, tossing a dominant 7-inning no-hitter to help the Red Sox avoid a sweep at the hands of the White Sox, and it's clear he's just getting started. Tom and Alex break down Crochet's electric early-season form, why he's only scratched the surface, and what his postgame comments revealed about his mindset moving forward.

It's the second such surgery he's had in his career. “Every single pitch is scrutinized, even when you throw in the bullpen. You get instant feedback,'' Giolito said. “For a guy trying to make the team, you have to hit certain numbers. That's always going to put more stress on the arm.'' Verlander winces when he sees video on social media of youth players throwing as hard as they can and working on breaking balls. Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, “It's a really difficult situation to wrap your head around, “If anyone had a perfect solution, we'd be all ears. “Teams are now investing in motion-capture technologies to try to understand how and when forces are applied to different joints. Elbow injuries are plaguing the entire sport. No one has unearthed a singular cause nor a surefire means of prevention. “There's really going to be no stopping of this pandemic,”said Reds pitcher Tejay Antone, who underwent his third Tommy John procedure on Friday. 2017 / 2021 / 2024 "I think I have an opportunity and responsibility to do this not only for myself, but other kids out there dealing with this," Antone said on Tuesday. "The cool thing about baseball is [that] contracts are guaranteed. There's kids out there in high school or in college, their careers are over and they don't have the best medical attention in the world. “Anybody's at risk,” said Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt, “at any time.” “If you're not trying to add velocity or add a pitch,” said Cubs starter Jameson Taillon, another member of the Two Tommy Johns Club, “you're probably falling behind.” What can be done? Taillon overhauled his delivery after his second Tommy John surgery because he “figured that was my body telling me that something's not right.” Hall of Famer John Smoltz warns that's a slippery slope, though. “It's a misconception that has been out there forever,” he said, “that people think, ‘Well, look at every guy's comeback: They've thrown harder and they've been better.' It's a myth. “Tommy John's not normal. And we've normalized it.” The Real Crisis is how this is harming the 15 yr. old hurler
