(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Boston,
Money Line: -140.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Loss
I like Boston to bounce back after Milwaukee's 7-2 win to open the series on Friday. That was a tough spot for the Red Sox coming off their big 3-game sweep of the Rays to close out a 6-game road trip. Not only do I expect Boston to be more focused in this one, they have a clear-cut edge on the mound with Nick Pivetta facing off against Colin Rea. Pivetta has a strong 3.04 ERA and 0.825 WHIP in 5 starts. Rea has a very mediocre 4.07 ERA and 1.397 WHIP in 9 starts and 4.74 ERA in 5 road starts and a 7.20 ERA in his last 3 outings. Give me the Red Sox on Saturday evening.
