After Greinke collapsed like a pack of cards last night ...
"I just couldn't pitch any worse than I did," said Greinke, who surrendered seven earned runs in his shortest start in more than four years. "It was no one's fault but mine." Cheers, Zach

I should leave Totals, but I like tonight's game to go Over.
Lackey, although he has done ok in the past against the Phils, is a bum imo and Worley's peripherals aren't as encouraging as you might hope. He puts too many on, doesn't strike out enough batters and, because he tends not to keep the ball down, the long ball is never far away and he's teetering on the edge of getting hit hard.
Boston are shoehorning Big Papi into the lineup and shoving Gonzalez out to the fences in right and I have a feeling they may put up some runs tonight. Similarly, the Phils can get to Lackey, so that should come together nicely.
Let's hope so.
Pick: Over 9.5 @ 1.9
