Roman Anthony continues to attach himself to Ted Williams in Red Sox history

Roman Anthony is just 21 years old, but he's seemingly etching his name in the Red Sox history books on a nightly basis. The rookie is now doing things only the great Ted Williams did before him in a Boston uniform. On Tuesday night, Anthony matched the Splendid Splinter by barely taking the bat off his shoulder. And when he did swing, Anthony left Daikin Park in Houston for a second straight evening. Anthony was just 1-for-2 for the Red Sox out of the leadoff spot, but he drew four walks and scored four times in Boston's 14-1 victory over the Astros in Houston. His lone hit of the night was a 428-foot solo home run in the top of the eighth, making it back-to-back games Anthony has gone yard in Houston. Anthony's four-walk game is the first of his career and the first for the Red Sox since Kyle Schwarber worked four free passes back on Aug. 26, 2021. But Schwarber was a patient, 28-year-old veteran when he did all that walkin', not a rookie who just hit the legal drinking age three months ago. "As the leadoff guy, I'm just trying to get a good pitch to hit, understanding that, if not, my job is to get on and take my walks," said Anthony, who didn't swing his bat once during his four free passes. Anthony also homered, crushing a Colton Gordon fastball for a solo shot to lead off the eighth inning. That big swing -- Anthony's fourth home run of the season -- put him in the same air as Ted Williams once again. At just 21 years and 91 days, Anthony is the youngest Red Sox hitter to homer in a four-walk game since Williams did so on Sept. 20, 1939 at the age of 21 years and 21 days. Anthony is the third-youngest player in MLB history to accomplish the feat, after Mel Ott (20 years, 124 days in 1929) and Williams. The Teddy Ballgame connection doesn't end there for Anthony. He reached base 82 times over his first 50 games in the Major Leagues, tying Williams for the most to start a Boston career. Anthony also shares another incredible stat line with Williams: They're the only two players in Red Sox history with at least 20 extra base hits and at least 25 walks drawn over their first 52 games. Not too shabby for Anthony, though he has a long way to match what Williams -- who owns a .344 average and .an MLB-best 482 OBP for his career -- did at the plate throughout his 19 seasons in Boston. But the rookie is off to an incredible start, slashing .286/.406/.451 with an .857 OBP over his first 52 games. Anthony has been scorching over his last 30 games, hitting at a .330 clip to go with a .443 OBP, 23 runs scored, and 16 RBI for the Red Sox. Anthony has only been 21 for a few months, but his veteran approach at the plate has been leading to good things for the Red Sox, and has put the rookie right next to one of the greatest hitters alive in the Red Sox record books.

Venus Williams to get new Barbie as part of Inspiring Women collection

Venus Williams has a new Barbie, this one part of the dollmaker's Inspiring Women collection. Williams' doll, to be released Friday, will celebrate the tennis great and pay equity champion with a doll wearing the uniform she wore while winning Wimbledon in 2007. Williams' win for the fifth of her seven grand slam titles was the first time a woman received equal prize money as the men at a top-level tournament. The doll, suggested to retail for $38, will feature Williams in all white with a green gem necklace, wristband, racket and tennis ball. Williams also had a Barbie doll released in May 2024 that highlighted nine trailblazing female athletes as part of Barbie's 65th anniversary celebration.

Miami Marlins at Cleveland Guardians odds, picks and predictions

The Miami Marlins (57-62) and the Cleveland Guardians (62-56) play the middle contest of a 3-game interleague series Wednesday at Progressive Field in Cleveland. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's MLB odds around the Marlins vs. Guardians odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets. Season series: Guardians lead 1-0 The Guardians opened the interleague series Tuesday night with a 4-3 win over the Marlins as favorites (-130) with the Under (8.5) cashing. Cleveland 3B Jose Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double and a pair of solo homers. As a result, Ramirez became the franchise's multi-HR leader. He has 27 games with at least 2 homers in his 13-year career, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Jim Thome and Albert Belle for the franchise lead. He snapped an 0-for-12 slide with the huge night. DH Kyle Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo homer, his 21st of the season. Miami's DH Heriberto Hernandez had the team's only extra-base hit, a double, and he finished 1-for-4 with an RBI. RF Dane Myers had the only other RBI for the visitors, finishing 1-for-2 with a walk, run and RBI. Cleveland has won 6 of the past 7 games, while the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 outings. The Guardians are 22-8 in the past 30 games since July 7, slicing the lead of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central to 5 1/2 games. Marlins at Guardians projected starters RHP Eury Perez vs. RHP Gavin Williams Perez (4-3, 3.25 ERA) makes his 12th start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 through 55 1/3 innings. Williams (7-4, 3.17 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 4.8 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 125 innings.

Marlins at Guardians picks and predictions Guardians 3, Marlins 2 Moneyline The GUARDIANS (-125) are worth a look in the second installment of this 3-game set. Williams comes in with a lot of steam after a near complete game last time out, falling just 1 out short of a 1-hitter against the Mets, another NL East team. And Perez had been humming along, but he was treated rudely by the Braves in his most recent outing. Prior to both pitcher's start, Miami might have looked like a better play, but Cleveland is rolling along, and it is a strong play to stay hot. Run line/Against the spread The Marlins +1.5 (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, if you need some insurance, and you just can't bet Miami on the run line. The Marlins nearly got the job done Tuesday, coming up just short. But, it is still just 1-3 in the past 4 games on the run line as an underdog. AVOID. Over/Under UNDER 8 (-120) might be the best play on the board. On the surface, a matchup of Perez and Williams doesn't scream pitcher's duel. But, the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 starts by Perez, while the Under has cashed in each of the past 3 starts by Williams, and the total has gone low in 4 of the past 6 games for the Guardians.
