Oakland at Boston

The Boston Red Sox have floundered around the .500 mark all season until recently. The Sox are playing as well as any team in the league right now, as they have gone 13-5 in their last 18 games. Boston quickly devoured the Marlins in three straight before taking on the Yankees on the road. The Sox left New York on a high note, taking two of three. They now have another big opportunity to devour another poor team. The Oakland A's lost over 100 games a year ago, and progress has been slow as they enter this game on the road in Boston at 34-58 on the season. This is a much worse spot for Oakland, who has been somewhat respectable at home but has been getting destroyed on the road, where they are a woeful 12-33 on the season. Those numbers sound horrific, but the reality is they are even worse. Oakland is 3-24 in their last 27 road games, and I don't see a fix tonight vs. a surging Red Sox team. Make the play on Boston.
