Both of these teams have more or less held serve in the rugged AL East. They are each a winning streak away from being a top contender. Boston has dropped two out of three in this series, but overall, has been outscored by just two runs. Boston is 106-81 in the last 187 games played at Fenway in this series. Boston has found something in Coppoer Criswell who will take the mound in the series finale. Criswell has won each of his last five decisions, with opponents scoring just six total runs. I think the Sox—who have won four of the last six on this homestand—will want to finish it strong. The Rays have not gotten all they had hoped from Zack Littell. Littell is just 5-8 in his last 13 decisions, and this line should be higher priced. Make the play on Boston.
