5* MLB BEST BET
(MLB) Boston vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: 100.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is going to be a solid matchup between the top two teams in the AL East. Both teams were active leading into the deadline with Boston picking up Kyle Schwarber while Tampa Bay acquired Nelson Cruz to bolster their lineup. Yarbrough has sputtered at home this season, which gives one pause when it comes to leaning one way or the other here. Eovaldi hasn’t been great against the Rays or at the Trop during his career but the Red Sox have the ability to put up crooked numbers in the blink of an eye. The Red Sox are fighting to maintain the top spot in the division and they come up with the victory in this contest here on Saturday night.
Take Boston as the Red Sox are 29-12 in their last 41 vs. American League East.
