Premium Picks
Boston at Washington
WIN
Boston is a big road favorite but plays its third straight road game after losing 6-2 yesterday as -145 chalk. The weather in Washington is steamy hot, so don't expect the starters to be around very long. Red Sox lefty Chris Sale has a 5.34 ERA on the road. Boston is 30-42 when Sale starts after a defeat, plus the team is 18-24 when he starts as a road favorite of -125 to -175. Washington is on an 8-4 run winning five times as an underdog. The Nationals play their sixth consecutive home contest and with the Red Sox 15-32 after playing two or more straight road games, back the home dog. Play Washington.
