The Boston Red Sox will send red-hot Rick Porcello to the mound to take on the Seattle Mariners Wednesday. Porcello has been an automatic victory for the Sox, as the club has won his past eight starts with the righty allowing just 17 earned runs in that span.
- The OVER is 17-6 in the Red Sox’ past 23 games in the month of August.
- The Mariners are 2-10 SU in their past 12 games coming off an ATS win.
- The Red Sox are 3-9 ATS in their past 12 games against the AL.
Hisashi Iwakuma enters this start coming off his worst outing of the season, as the Mariners' pitcher went just 3.0 innings while surrendering eight hits and five runs to the Cubs. Iwakuma picked up the win against the Red Sox earlier this season in a solid – yet unspectacular – outing in which he gave up nine hits and four runs.
Robinson Cano has been dominating Boston this season with the All-Star hitting .450 with a .800 slugging percentage. In this series alone Cano has four hits and three RBIs.
