Wednesday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – Will the Angels finally be able to figure out how to win in Boston or will the Red Sox dominate again behind one of their best starters?
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Red Sox –171 money line favorites over the visiting Angels, who are +161 on the ML. The over/under for tonight’s game is 8.5 runs and the first pitch is slated for 7:10PM ET.
The Halos come into tonight’s game with a 16-14 overall record and are 10-7 on the road. That said, they’ve dropped lost their last two games in Boston and are now 1-8 in their last nine meetings with the BoSox on the road. L.A. just hasn’t been able to figure out how to win in Beantown.
On the flip side, the Red Sox have now won three in a row and their offense is starting to heat up. They’ve scored 16 runs over the last two games, which is a stark contrast compared to the seven runs they scored in three games before then. They’ll have Josh Beckett on the mound tonight, a starter who owns a 2.65 ERA over 34 innings so far this season.
MLB Free Pick: Even though the Angels have struggled mightily against the Red Sox, this could be one of those games where they put it all together. According to latest MLB trends, the Halos are 5-0 in Ervin Santana’s last five starts against the Red Sox, while Boston is just 2-7 in Beckett’s last nine outings against L.A. The BoSox are also 0-4 in his last four home starts versus the Angels, who may be able to catch Boston off-guard after the drubbing they’ve endured the past two nights. Take the underdog Halos +161.
