The Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox meet Sunday in MLB action at Fenway Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
Oakland Athletics Betting Preview
The Oakland Athletics have scored 6 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 7 of their last 12 games. The Athletics have lost 6 of their last 8 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Esteury Ruiz leads the Athletics with 86 hits and 35 RBI, while Brent Rooker and Ryan Noda have combined for 119 hits and 78 RBI. JP Sears gets the ball, and he is 1-6 with a 4.09 ERA and 89 strikeouts this season. This will be Sears’ first career game against the Red Sox.
Boston Red Sox Betting Preview
The Boston Red Sox have scored 27 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games. The Red Sox have won 7 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Justin Turner leads the Red Sox with 95 hits and 52 RBI, while Alex Verdugo and Masataka Yoshida have combined for 188 hits and 81 RBI. Tayler Scott gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA and 8 strikeouts this season. This will be Scott’s second career game against the Athletics.
Randy’s Pick
I'm not running to the window to get behind Tayler Scott and what he's done in this small sample size, but as I've said time and time again, backing the Athletics isn't an option. The Oakland Athletics can't string together offense, and they continue to burn a hole in bettors pockets. I'll continue to fade this team regardless of the situation. Give me the Red Sox and whatever the price is.
