Red Sox at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
BET RED SOX (-160) . The Brewers have struggled recently, losing 3 of their last 5 games, and they have lost 3 of their last 6 games at home. They narrowly avoided a 3-game losing streak with a late-game surge on Sunday and will start a rookie on the mound who has allowed 3 runs in 3 of his last 5 starts. The Red Sox scored only 1 run in back-to-back losses to the Orioles, but in the 2 wins before that they combined to score 25 runs. Expect the team to get back on track offensively against the 26-year-old Patrick.
PASS . There is better value on the moneyline.
BET OVER 7.5 (-105) . The Red Sox are coming off back-to-back games scoring 1 run, but 6 runs and 19 runs in the 2 games prior. They have allowed 5 runs in 4 of their last 5 games. The Brewers have scored 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games while allowing 5 or more runs in 4 of their last 5 contests.
