Boston at Oakland

Boston is off to a 3-2 start and it shut out the Athletics 9-0 on Monday. Oakland made it easy for the Red Sox by committing six errors and striking out 13 times. Boston has been getting good pitching as it has allowed a total of only 10 runs in five games and Brayan Bello will start tonight. Bello pitched five innings against Seattle on Thursday and gave up two runs on five hits and got the win. Not surprisingly Oakland is 1-4 and it has allowed 38 runs in five games and look very much like last year's 100-plus loss team. Alex Wood will start for the Athletics and he allowed six runs on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings against Cleveland on Thursday. Oakland is 32-87 versus right-handed starters the past two seasons and 10-30 its past 40 games as a home underdog of +125 to +175. Take the Red Sox as a Max Play.
