Pick
Boston comes into this game playing great baseball and they are looking for the sweep here. Boston has won seven of their last eight games and they have out scored Oakland by a total of 17-6 in the first two games of this series. Oakland had some momentum after winning the first two games in Detroit, but they have allowed 26 runs in their last three games. Oakland is starting JP Sears, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts. Boston is starting Tayler Scott, who will work as an opener for the Red Sox. Boston is playing very well right now and I am going to take them -1.5 in this game for the sweep.
