The red hot Red Sox were once again a top exposure for bookies with early bet volume topping 90% on the Boston money line early on. 

The line on this game was all the way up to -230 at some books and this was with the Red Sox on the road and Tampa Bay surging.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Chris Sale (4-1, 2.29 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Faria (3-2, 5.20)

Sale allowed two runs, two hits and four walks - his most since 2016 - while striking out nine in five innings of a 6-4 victory over Oakland on Wednesday. He is 8-5 with a 3.10 ERA in 17 games (15 starts) versus Tampa Bay.

Faria earned a no-decision after yielding three runs, four hits and four walks while striking out two in 4 1/3 innings of the Rays' 5-3 victory at Kansas City on Wednesday. He is 1-1 with a 6.14 ERA in four outings (three starts) against the Red Sox, including 1-0, 1.38 versus Boston in three home games.

With the Rays being 5-1 in Faria's last 6 starts, the line on this game is pretty outrageous. Tampa Bay is also 7-3 in their last ten games overall.

Boston is  7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
