Call me a homer if youd like..
BOSTON RED SOX +131
BOSTON RED SOX SERIES +125 (All-in play, no titles or GOY blah blah)
I cant stress enough how much the loss of Lance McCullers will do to this Astros team, mentally as well as on the diamond. On the other side Alex Cora is pushing buttons with his mental manipulation, starting Chris Sale in G1 as opposed to Nate Eovaldi on regular rest. This reads to me as Cora trying to push his "Ace" by saying go out there and get em, youre the man, and I think it pays off, as most things Cora does do. Eovaldi spotted something in Sale's bullpen that they are working on as well. I know Sale has sucked against Houston in the postseason, but I think tonight he comes out and shuts them down, and the Boston offense is on fire, maybe hitting their stride right on time, this feels like 2018 all over again.
Boston wins G1 tonight, and the series 4-2.
