Boston has the one pitcher going today that can end its losing streak, and that is Garrett Crochet, who pitched six shutout innings as the Red Sox beat Cincinnati 3-0 on Opening Day. He allowed three hits with eight strikeouts, and the game was an easy UNDER. Unfortunately, Boston has scored only 10 runs in four games since then, but it has an opportunity against Mike Burrows, who was torched for five runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Angels on Friday. Dating to last season, the Red Sox have stayed UNDER nine of 12 overall and six of nine against the AL West. Take the Red Sox to win, and grab the UNDER.

Pro Picks
Boston at Houston
Boston is off to a slow start offensively, and the Red Sox will turn to Brayan Bello to keep them in the game against the Astros, who won 8-1 last night. Bello finished the 2025 season 11-9 with a 1.24 WHIP, and he had a 3.06 ERA with a .215 opponent batting average in road games. Houston hitters are just 9-for-41 against Bello. The Red Sox have gone UNDER nine of 11 dating to last season. Hunter Brown goes for the Astros, and he went 4 2/3 innings in a 3-0 loss to the Angels on Thursday. He gave up no runs on four hits, but was taken out after 102 pitches. Boston has just a .607 OPS against Brown, but Houston's bullpen owns a 4.43 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP this season. Take the Red Sox as my Game of the Week, and bet this one to stay UNDER the total.
