The Milwaukee Brewers and the Boston Red Sox will face off in game 2 of their three-game series in Boston. The Brewers took game 1, 4-1, and will look to make it two in a row by sending out Eric Lauer to the mound. The Red Sox will counter with Nick Pivetta on the mound. Lauer is 6-3 this season with a 3.84 ERA and he has struck out 103 batters in 100.2 total innings. Pivetta is 8-7 with a 4.35 ERA over 113.2 total innings. Boston is 2-5 in their last 7 home games vs a team with a winning record and 3-11 in their last 14 games overall. Milwaukee is 7-1 in their last 8 interleague games. Eric Lauer has pitched well this month posting a 3.22 ERA but has not picked up a decision. Nick Pivetta is 0-2 with a 9.95 ERA in four starts in July. The Re Sox are still without their two best offensive players and their struggles to score runs will continue. The Brewers have won five of the last six games against the Red Sox and I see another win coming today.

Play on Milwaukee. This is a 7* play.
