A's at Red Sox
(MLB) Athletics (OAK) vs. Red Sox (BOS),
Point Spread: -1.50 | 110.00 Red Sox (BOS) (Home)
Result: Loss
Look at the Red Sox go! A 20-9 spurt since sitting a game below .500 on July 4 has thrust the Sox into an AL wild card position and now bearing down on the Yankees for second place in the AL East. The offense is certainly in gear after last night's 12-run eruption at Fenway, proving no hangover from winning the series at Yankee Stadium over the weekend, and Nick Pivetta is off of seven innings of one-hit, shutout ball vs. the marlins on July 4th. True, JP Sears was also sharp for the A's in his last start when tossing five shutout innings at the slumping Angels last Thursday, but remember that he posted a flammable 7.94 ERA across five June starts.
