MLB Odds
Boston -117
Total: 8.5 runs

This could be a potential World Series matchup, though it’s clearly way too early to be able to tell. Boston, though, has been the best team in baseball all season and they have a very impressive 44-20 record away from Fenway Park. The 44 wins away from home is the most in the majors to date this season and it’s helped them open a 10-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East.

Remember, New York would hold down first place in every other division in baseball with its 75 wins.

Tonight we get Nathan Eovaldi (5-4, 3.74 ERA) taking on Vince Velasquez (8-9, 3.98 ERA). Both have been pretty solid this season, Velasquez sports a 2.68 ERA covering his last 10 starts, though he did allow four earned runs in just four innings against the Diamondbacks in his last start.

Boston comes in red-hot, winning 11 of the last 12 games overall. The Red Sox are getting everything going in the right direction still and even though Vasquez has been good himself, Boston is on a record-setting pace.
