Rays vs. Red Sox prediction: MLB picks, odds Monday

All five teams in the beastly AL East have winning records, including last-place Boston.

Considering the open-gate policy (no, Aaron Judge is not a fan), the Red Sox should migrate over to the AL Central, where they would be a half-game back of the first-place Twinkies. 

The Red Sox host the Rays. Boston’s Brayan Bello has turned into a reliable starter.

Bello has allowed four runs over his last 16 innings but has lost back-to-back games.

Tampa Bay’s Shane McClanahan, arguably the best pitcher in baseball, lost his first game of the season after 12 starts.

The Cubs beat him, but they only scored twice in 5 ²/₃ innings. We will take the home dog Bosox and Bello for $50 (+136, FanDuel).

We bet on the Rangers’ Eovaldi three times and got Nathan’s best every time.

Eovaldi one-hit the Mariners for six innings, Corey Seager and Jonah Heim went deep and the Rangers marinated Seattle 12-3. Winner.
