Pitcher W-L record...gross.

Contrary to what you guys might believe, he has a lower career xFIP (3.59 to 3.79) on the road.

xFIP STRIKES AGAIN!

He has a lower FIP (3.71 to 4.03) at home though.

But those are career #s, last two years he has pitched much better at home than on the road according to both FIP and xFIP. So yes I agree that he's not exactly backable on the road.

Jimmy & Sky, love TB today. I honestly thought they would open at even odds or small favorites. I think oddsmakers are going to be slow to adjust on the BoSox being off right now because the pedigree factor. I'll take advantage of that extra value on the opposition every time, especially when it's a better team like the ones Sky mentioned.
