Oakland vs. Boston (Red Sox -1.5): BEST BET
(MLB) Oakland vs. Boston,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -109.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Win
Bet on "Big Maple" to deliver a much-needed quality start for Boston... The Sox are down four starting pitchers and could really use a solid outing from the veteran southpaw James Paxton, who is returning from paternity leave. Bet on the new dad (zero runs in 7.2 innings in his last start and a 1.74 ERA in June) to handle his business, and the Sox lineup to rally for a run line victory vs. A's starter Paul Blackburn (five runs in his last start) and the Oakland bullpen (highest ERA in MLB) on Saturday!
