Philadelphia Phillies vs Boston Red Sox. MLB’s pick for the series opener will go to the Philadelphia Phillies -125. The Red Sox have the worst spot in the American League this season. Godley has good games playing against the Phillies but he is inconsistent on the mound this season, so it’s hard to put trust in him in this game. With the most runs allowed per game, Boston will need to pull a rabbit out of the hat, if they wish to end their 8 game skid. The Red Sox are 1-5 in their last 6 games in Fenway Park, making the home field advantage not so advantageous in this game. Predicted to win this match is Philadelphia to a score of 9-7.
