Oakland Athletics vs Boston Red Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Boston Red Sox. Despite Hill’s recent struggles, the Red Sox bats finally woke up, allowing them to score a lot of runs and go hot.
Meanwhile, Oakland did not have the best luck with Hill in his career, and while Blackburn was excellent on the road, Boston appears to have his number, and the A’s bullpen battled to minimize damage and close out games. Furthermore, Boston won all four matches it played this season by more than 1.5 runs, except for Wednesday night.
The average margin of win was 5.25 runs per game, which is why I like the -1.5 here since Boston’s bats should continue hot while Oakland was dreadful this season in every way. The Boston Red Sox will win to a predicted score of 7-3.
