The Oakland Athletics have won four of their last five, the last two here at Fenway Park. I like them to complete the sweep of this three-game series with another win tonight.

Oakland left-hander Sean Manaea (3-1, 3.07 ERA) was excellent in his last start when he held Tampa Bay to one run on two hits with 10 Ks over 7 1/3 innings of work. Here he'll face a Boston team that has scored only eight runs through its last four games.

Red Sox righty Garrett Richards (2-2, 4.54 ERA) is coming off a couple of strong outings, but both were on the road. Richards has struggled home at Fenway, and Boston as a team is only 10-11 at home while Oakland is 10-4 on the road.

Free pick on Oakland Athletics.

Mike has an ALL EARLY MLB 3-PACK locked and loaded for the early action on Thursday. His early MLB 3-pack for Wednesday went 2-1, and tonight's games are looking good to SWEEP! Mike sat out on the hardwood action last night, but he has an NBA GAME OF THE MONTH release up for grabs for tonight. Don't miss Mike's TOP-RATED NORTHWEST DIV *BEST BET* which will put a +$20,000 RUN to the test!
